Few regions were as closely tied to the commercial apple trade as the Yakima Valley in central Washington, where irrigation from the Yakima River turned dry sagebrush land into productive orchards in the early 1900s. This Independent Brand Northwest Apples crate label is a small piece of that story: it was printed to be pasted onto a wooden shipping crate and to catch the eye of buyers in distant markets. Crate labels like this one usually combined a bold brand name with bright color lithography, and collectors now value them as both advertising and a record of how growers marketed their fruit across the country.
