Few crate labels carry a place name as specific as Emmett, Idaho, a small town in the Boise Valley where orchards and irrigated farms grew up along the Payette River in the early twentieth century. The "State Seal" brand and the "Extra Fancy" grade were the kind of marketing language packers used to tell buyers in distant cities that their fruit met a top standard. Fruit labels like this were printed in bright chromolithographic colors and pasted onto wooden crates, so they now record both the growers' pride and the commercial rail shipping that carried Idaho apples east. Looking closely at the layout, you can see how design, regional identity and produce grading came together on a single crate end.
