Yakima Valley, in central Washington, became one of the state's major apple-growing districts in the early 20th century, thanks to irrigation from the Yakima River. This crate label for a Washington Brand dehydrated apple product points to a second stage of the fruit trade: processing surplus and cull apples into dried stock that could be stored and shipped long after the fresh harvest ended. Labels like this one were designed to catch a buyer's eye on crowded grocery shelves and on the crates themselves, so their bold lettering and regional wording were meant to signal quality and origin. Looking closely, the label shows how growers and packers marketed a place as much as a product.
