Among the many apple crate labels on this board, "Teacher's Pet" stands out for its schoolroom name, which tied a common fruit to the classroom and its familiar figure, the favored student who gets the apple on the desk. Washington apple growers in the early twentieth century printed bright lithographed labels like this one to make their crates stand out on crowded railroad platforms and in city grocery stalls. Names such as this were chosen to appeal to shoppers and to suggest a wholesome, dependable product. Such labels are now valued as small examples of commercial art and of how the Pacific Northwest fruit industry sold itself to the rest of the country.
