Printed for the O-fine-O brand and issued by Oneonta Trading Corp., this crate label promotes Washington apples at a time when the state's orchards were sending fruit in growing volume to markets across the country. Crate labels like this were usually printed in bright colors so that a box would stand out on a loading dock or in a grocer's display, and many have survived as collectible ephemera. Labels of this kind typically combined a brand name, fruit imagery and a claim about quality or origin, which made them an early form of product advertising.
