Few objects capture the Pacific Northwest's orchard economy as neatly as a crate label. This one, from the Wenatchee District of central Washington, shows the Red Seal brand, a name used by growers who packed apples in wooden boxes for shipment by rail to distant markets. Wenatchee sits in the Columbia River valley, where irrigation from the river made the dry land productive, and by the early 1900s the region had become one of the country's leading apple-growing areas. Labels like this one did real work: their bright lithography sold the fruit on store shelves, and their brand names built trust in a crop that buyers could not see until the crate was opened.
