Swan Brand is the name printed across this crate label from the Perham Fruit Company of Yakima, Washington, a detail that places it firmly in the Yakima Valley's apple trade. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's fruit at a glance, and their bold colors and graphic swans were meant to catch the eye on a crowded produce shelf. Yakima grew into one of the largest apple-producing centers in the Pacific Northwest during the early twentieth century, thanks to irrigation from the Yakima River. Labels of this kind now serve as useful records of how growers marketed their fruit.
