Few details are given beyond the title, so the particulars here are the brand name and the place. KARE-FUL-PAK was a crate label used on apples packed in Yakima, Washington, a city in the Yakima Valley that became one of the state's major apple-growing and shipping centers in the early twentieth century. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright color lithography and pasted onto wooden shipping boxes, where they advertised the grower or packer to buyers in distant markets. Collectors today value them as small pieces of commercial art and as records of how the Pacific Northwest fruit trade marketed its produce.
