Crate labels like this one were the sales pitch of the Pacific Northwest apple trade, pasted on the ends of wooden boxes so buyers could spot a grower's fruit across a crowded produce auction. The "Don't Worry" brand name is what sets this label apart from the many apple labels on the board, and its cheerful, reassuring tone reflects how growers tried to make a shipment seem dependable before a buyer ever opened the box. Yakima, in the Yakima Valley of central Washington, was one of the region's main apple-growing centers, and irrigated orchards there shipped fruit by rail to markets across the country. Labels like this one, often printed in bright color lithography, are now valued as small records of that commercial era.
