The Big 7 was a Washington State apple brand, and this crate label carries the name in the bold type that helped growers stand out on a crowded shelf. Labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping crates so buyers in distant markets could recognize a pack's grade and origin at a glance. Washington's orchards, fed by irrigation in the central valleys, sent large volumes of apples east by rail in the early 20th century, and the colorful lithographed crate art that came with that trade is now prized as a record of regional marketing. Look closely at the standard pack designation, which told dealers the fruit's size and quality before a crate was ever opened.
