The Glen-Echo Brand label names a particular grower and product, sweet corn, and that name is what sets it apart from the many fruit and vegetable crate labels of its era. Crate labels like this one were printed in bright color lithography to catch the eye of buyers in crowded produce markets and grocers' displays, and they often carried a brand name, a scene, or an image of the crop. Sweet corn was a prized late-summer and autumn crop, and it became a regular part of harvest-season meals, which is why a label for it sits naturally in a Thanksgiving collection.
