Most apple crate labels on this board promote orchards in the western United States, which makes this one stand out: the brand name, A1 Brand Canadian Apples, points to fruit grown across the border and sold under a packer's own label. Crate labels like this were lithographed in bright color so that a single piece of fruit stacked in a wholesale display would catch a buyer's eye. The Occidental Fruit Co. name on the label reminds us that the packing house, not the grower, was often the company that built the brand and the market appeal.
