Yakima, Washington, is the valley town printed across this apple crate label, which carried the Kare-Ful-Pak brand name on the wrapper that would have gone around each box of fruit. Crate labels like this were a standard piece of the early twentieth-century Pacific Northwest orchard trade, where growers and packing houses used bright chromolithographed art to set their fruit apart on crowded grocery shelves, often in cities far from the orchards themselves. Yakima sat at the heart of the region's apple country, and labels from its packers are prized today as both advertising and a record of the valley's fruit economy. Look closely at the lithography, the color registration, and the way the design balances a pictorial scene against the brand lettering.
