Oneonta Brand, a name printed on this crate label, points to the fruit trade that once shipped apples from orchards across the country to city grocers and households. Crate labels like this one were pasted on wooden boxes to catch the eye of buyers on crowded wholesale docks and store shelves, so the colorful lithographed art mattered as much as the words. Labels of this kind often showed orchards, fruit, or idealized scenes of rural abundance, which helped sell a brand before anyone tasted the fruit. Today the labels are valued as small pieces of commercial design and as records of how American food was marketed a century ago.
