Few things on this board are as small and specific as a crate label, and this one carries a local civic story. The label reads "For the Kids of Spokane, Kiwanis," which points to a Spokane, Washington, Kiwanis Club and its work for local children, a service mission that Kiwanis clubs have pursued across the country since the early twentieth century. Fruit crate labels like this one were printed to sell produce, but many clubs and growers used them to promote community causes, so the design blends commerce with civic pride. Its bright red apple and bold lettering show how much effort went into catching a shopper's eye on a crowded grocery shelf.
