A smiling boy in a cap is the centerpiece of this crate label, which was printed to sell apples under the Jackie Boy Brand name. Fruit crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping crates so that buyers at markets and grocers could tell one grower's fruit from another's. Bright lithographed art was a deliberate sales tool in that era, since a memorable face or scene helped a brand stand out in a crowded produce display. Labels such as this one now show how growers marketed their fruit to American shoppers and how commercial printing and advertising developed alongside the rise of packed, shipped produce.
