Few crate labels from the early twentieth century paired fruit with waterfowl, which makes this Eatmor Cranberries design stand out on a board otherwise full of orchard and produce scenes. The mallard perched in the foreground signals the cranberry bogs of the region, where wild ducks were a familiar sight among the vines and ponds. Labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping crates to catch the eye of grocers and buyers, so the artist had to make a brand memorable in a single glance. Worth noticing is how the bright color printing and bold lettering were meant to suggest freshness and a rural origin, qualities that helped sell the berries long before refrigerated trucks carried them across the country.
