Lead with the sailing yacht that fills the center of this crate label, a detail that sets it apart from the orchard scenes and fruit-only designs common on apple boxes. The "Sails" brand name was printed to catch the eye of buyers at a time when crates of Northwest apples were shipped east by rail and sold in city markets. Labels like this one were lithographed in bright colors so that a crate stacked among dozens of others could be picked out at a glance. Look closely at the lettering and the water beneath the boat, which show how commercial artists of the early twentieth century combined fruit-growing pride with the leisure imagery of a more prosperous public.
