The title, *Don't Worry Northwest Apples*, names a brand rather than a particular place or person, and the phrase was probably meant to reassure buyers about the fruit inside. Crate labels like this were colorful printed paper pasted onto wooden boxes so that apples would stand out in grocers' displays and railway freight yards. From the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when rail shipping opened distant markets, growers competed through these eye-catching labels. Today they are valued as examples of commercial printing and of the orchard-era design that promoted Northwest fruit.
