Few crate labels from the early twentieth century did more to sell a single product than this one, which presents Butterfly Brand Golden Pumpkin as the first-quality choice for the holiday table. Fruit and vegetable crate labels of this era were colorful lithographed paper pasted onto wooden shipping crates, designed to catch the eye of grocers and shoppers alike. Pumpkins in particular were tied to autumn harvests and Thanksgiving pies, so a label promoting a canned or packed pumpkin speaks to how closely American holiday cooking was marketed to the home kitchen. Notice the bright palette and bold lettering, which were typical of the commercial art used to make a brand memorable.
