Printed to sell a particular brand, the "Dainty Maid" label names Washington-grown apples on a crate end meant to catch a buyer's eye on a grocer's shelf or a railcar platform. Washington's orchards expanded rapidly in the early 1900s, and shippers used colorful lithographed labels like this one to set their fruit apart from competitors'. Many such labels pictured fresh fruit, women, children, or scenic landscapes, so the design also reflects the advertising styles of the period. Labels like this one now serve as a record of how the fruit trade marketed itself.
