Three boys hold up apples on this crate label, a detail that sets it apart from the many fruit-box designs on the board, which tend to show only fruit or a landscape. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers in distant cities could spot a grower's brand at a glance, and the bright chromolithographed colors were meant to catch the eye on crowded grocery shelves. Children appear often in this kind of artwork because they suggested wholesomeness and a healthy, appealing product. The label's title, "Repetition," may hint that the design was reused across many crates, which was common practice for growers and printers alike.
