Few crate labels from the early twentieth century are as easy to recognize as this one, with its mountain goat perched on a rocky ledge above the printed name, Great-Northwest Washington Apples. The goat signals the wild, high-country landscape that growers hoped would lend their fruit a sense of purity and vigor. Apple box labels like this one were colorful advertisements, designed to catch the eye of buyers in crowded wholesale markets and grocers' displays. Washington's orchard districts were expanding rapidly in this period, thanks to irrigation projects and railroad shipping, and labels such as this helped growers and packing houses build a regional reputation.
