Crate labels like this one were printed to sell fruit from growers who shipped by rail in the early twentieth century, and the Pocahontas brand name would have been chosen to catch a buyer's eye on a crowded produce shelf. Cape Cod cranberries came from the bogs of southeastern Massachusetts, where growers flooded fields in autumn to harvest the berries, which made the fruit a natural fit for holiday tables. Labels of this kind now show how packers marketed a regional crop in a time before brand packaging was common, and the Thanksgiving connection reflects how cranberry sauce became tied to the holiday meal.
