Yakima Chief's crate label for "Extra Choice" evaporated apples points to a Washington state packing operation, since the Yakima Valley was one of the Pacific Northwest's major apple-growing districts. Evaporated apples were dried fruit, sliced and dehydrated so they could be shipped and stored long after the harvest, and labels like this one were designed to catch the eye of grocers and buyers across the country. Crate art of this kind, with bright color lithography and a brand name pitched to the consumer, is worth a close look because it shows how growers marketed a regional product on a national scale.
