The name Tulip Brand, printed on this label from the Perham Fruit Corporation of Yakima, sets it apart from the many apple crate labels on this board by tying it to a specific packer and place. Yakima lies in the Yakima Valley of central Washington, whose irrigated orchards became a major source of apples shipped by rail to eastern markets in the early 20th century. Growers and packing houses pasted lithographed labels like this one to the ends of wooden crates to catch a buyer's eye and build recognition for a brand name. Today the labels are valued as examples of commercial color printing and of the region's agricultural history.
