Idaho's apple growers used crate labels like this one to sell fruit under a single brand name, and "Wonder" was the kind of bright, catchy name packers chose to stand out on crowded grocery shelves. Crate labels of this era were lithographed in several colors, often pairing a striking central illustration with the brand and the grower's shipping details. Early twentieth-century western fruit labels such as this one were designed to make a shipment recognizable from a distance, and today they show how commercial art and regional agriculture were closely linked.
