Cedaredge, a small fruit-growing town on the Colorado Western Slope, is the place this crate label names, and it ties the design to a specific orchard district rather than to the wider apple trade. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's fruit at a glance, and their bold lithography was often the only advertising a small packing house could afford. The word "Sweepstakes" was a popular brand name of the period, suggesting a prize-winning pack. Labels from the Western Slope's orchard towns are worth studying for how they promoted both the fruit and the region's appeal to eastern buyers.
