What sets this label apart is its place name: the Pajaro Valley, a stretch of farmland along the Pajaro River in California, centered on Watsonville. Growers there shipped apples by rail to distant markets, and a brand name such as Lake View was meant to make one crate stand out among many. Labels like this were typically color lithographs, printed in bold inks to catch the eye of buyers who would never see the orchards. Today they show how fruit was packed and sold before refrigerated trucks and supermarket packaging changed the trade.
