The pitcher at the center of this crate label sets it apart from the many apple labels in this group, which tend to lead with fruit alone. Pajaro Valley, along the Monterey Bay coast in California, was a significant apple-growing area in the early twentieth century, and growers shipped their fruit in wooden crates that carried colorful lithographed labels. Those labels were advertising as much as packaging, meant to catch the eye of buyers and shoppers and to build a brand name like "Best Strike." Today they offer a window into how California agriculture marketed itself, with bold color and decorative design competing for attention on crowded grocery shelves.
