Richwood, a small village in Gloucester County, New Jersey, is the place named on this crate label for Zee Apples, a brand that set its name on fruit packed for shipment. Crate labels like this one were printed to catch the eye of buyers in city produce markets, where a bright lithograph could set one grower's apples apart from the next. Labels of this kind were a standard part of American fruit marketing in the early twentieth century, when railroads carried orchard produce to distant cities and the printed crate was often the only advertising a farm ever got. Look closely at the lettering and the colors, which show how much effort went into selling a crate of ordinary apples.
