Few things sum up early twentieth-century Western agriculture like a crate label, and this one carries the name Emmett Valley, a farming district in the Northwest, along with the phrase "Pre-Cooled," a reference to a refrigeration step that was becoming a selling point for fruit shipped long distances by rail. Apple growers in the region relied on colorful lithographed labels like this one to distinguish their fruit in crowded markets across the country. Printed labels of this kind were often produced in bulk by commercial lithography firms for packing houses and growers' cooperatives, so the artwork tells you as much about marketing as about the orchard itself.
