Here a boy in a blue cap and jacket is shown playing a horn, the figure that gave this Wenatchee crate label its name, "Boy Blue." Wenatchee, in central Washington, grew into one of the country's leading apple districts in the early twentieth century, and growers packed their fruit in wooden boxes dressed with colorful lithographed labels meant to catch the eye of buyers in distant markets. Labels like this one were a form of advertising, pairing a memorable image with a brand name so that a crate would stand out on a grocer's shelf. Notice how the storybook nursery-rhyme figure links the fruit to a familiar, cheerful character.
