Hamilton's Washington Apples label pairs a grower's name with a state, a combination that told distant buyers where their fruit came from. Crate labels like this were printed in bright color lithography and pasted to the ends of wooden boxes, so a shopper could recognize a brand at a glance. Washington's apple industry grew quickly in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and labels like this one helped build a regional reputation as orchards and rail shipping expanded.
