A football and a stadium set this Big Game Bartlett Pears label apart from the orchard and landscape scenes that dominate many fruit crate labels. Labels like this were pasted onto wooden shipping crates so a grower's brand would catch a buyer's eye in a crowded produce market. Linking a pear to a big football game was a way to suggest excitement and seasonal fun, a common approach in early twentieth-century label art. Notice how the bold lettering and sporting scene work together to sell the fruit as much as the fruit itself.
