Cadet Brand, recleaned California evaporated apples: the name on this crate label points to a product that was packed and shipped for sale rather than eaten fresh. Evaporated apples were made by peeling, coring and slicing apples and drying them, which kept the fruit from spoiling and made it light enough to ship long distances. California's orchards and drying yards supplied a large share of these dried apples to buyers across the country in the early twentieth century. Crate labels like this one were printed to catch the eye of grocers and shoppers, so they show how fruit growers marketed their goods as much as how they grew them.
