Few apple labels tie their fruit so directly to a civic cause as this one, which names Kiwanis International, the service organization founded in 1915, and the children of Spokane. Spokane was a rail hub for the Inland Northwest, so crates bearing a local name like this would have traveled well beyond the city. Labels of this era were usually printed in bright color lithography to catch a buyer's eye on a grocer's shelf, and a community message added a second appeal to the sale. The design is worth a close look for how it balances commercial promotion with local pride.
