Few labels on this board name a place as specifically as this one, which points to Oak Glen, a mountain community on the slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains where apple orchards took hold in the late 1800s. The label was issued for the Los Rios Rancho, and its colorful lithographed art was meant to catch the eye of buyers in crowded produce markets. Crate labels like this were pasted onto wooden boxes so growers could brand their fruit, and today they preserve the commercial design and marketing of California's fruit industry in a way that shipping records alone cannot.
