Crate labels like this one were the advertising of their day: a grower's name, a brand, and a bright lithograph pasted on the end of a wooden apple box so that buyers could spot the fruit across a crowded produce auction or railway platform. The Williams Brand label, issued by the Glenn Williams Co., belongs to the decades when apples moved from local orchards to distant city markets in boxes stacked by the carload, and a striking label was a way for a shipper to build a reputation for quality. Look closely at the colors and lettering, which were printed in separate stone passes and show how much effort went into making a box label worth keeping.
