Few objects capture the mid-century orchard economy as neatly as a crate label. The Silver Spur label, printed for Northwest apples, was pasted onto wooden shipping crates so that buyers at distant markets could recognize the grower's brand at a glance. Labels like this were colorful, often lithographed, and designed to make ordinary fruit look appealing on a grocer's shelf. Apple growers in the Pacific Northwest relied on such brands to compete with produce from other regions, and the bright graphics they carried are now prized as small works of commercial art.
