Palo Alto Creamery is the particular name this picture carries, and the apple pies in its title point to a shop that sold baked goods alongside dairy in the Palo Alto area of California. Creameries of this kind were common local businesses in the early twentieth century, where residents bought milk, butter and freshly baked pies from a single counter. The image came to public view through Flickr, where it was shared under a Creative Commons license by the user Marshall Astor, and its place on the Pictorial America apples board places it among scenes of apple-based food and commerce.
