Few crate labels from the Pacific Northwest apple trade are as eye-catching as this one for Priceless brand apples, packed by the Price Distributing Co. of Yakima, Washington. Yakima Valley became one of the country's major apple-growing districts in the early twentieth century, after irrigation projects made dry eastern Washington land productive, and shippers used bold lithographed labels like this to sell fruit in distant markets. Crate labels of this kind were printed in bright colors to catch the eye of grocers and shoppers, and today they offer a window into how regional fruit was marketed to the nation.
