Lead with the crate label itself: "America's Delight" was the brand name printed on this Northwest apple crate, a bright, colorful piece of commercial art meant to catch a buyer's eye on a grocer's shelf or a railcar platform. Fruit crate labels like this one flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when growers in Washington, Oregon and other Pacific Northwest districts began shipping apples by rail to eastern markets. Lithographed labels carried vivid fruit, landscapes and patriotic or romantic names, turning a plain wooden box into an advertisement. Today they are prized as examples of early American packaging design and as records of the regional orchard trade.
