Skookum Apples is one of the best-known brand names in the history of Pacific Northwest fruit packing, and this crate label shows the bold, color-saturated style that made such labels collectible. Red and yellow apples fill the design, a pairing meant to suggest ripe, varied fruit packed for shipment. Early twentieth-century growers used these lithographed labels to stand out on crowded rail-yard platforms and in grocers' stacks, so the artwork did real commercial work. Note how the bright inks and the single eye-catching brand name were chosen to be read quickly from a distance.
