Printed crate labels like this one were pasted onto the ends of wooden apple crates so buyers could tell at a glance where the fruit came from and which brand it carried. The Happy Bee label is set apart by its name, a cheerful brand paired with a farm in Newburgh, New York, a Hudson Valley town long tied to orchard country. Crate labels of this kind were often colorful lithographs, designed to catch the eye on a crowded produce shelf or a railway platform. Looking closely at the lettering and illustration shows how growers competed for attention in an era before supermarket packaging.
