Bob White Brand cut green stringless beans were a canned vegetable label, and this piece is a reminder of how packaged vegetables were marketed in the early to mid twentieth century. Canned goods like these made green beans available year-round, long before frozen and fresh-shipped produce became common, so a label like this one speaks to the shift toward shelf-stable convenience in American kitchens. Green bean casserole and other holiday side dishes relied heavily on canned vegetables, which is why the label fits a gallery grouping on Thanksgiving recipes and foods. Look closely at the lettering and illustration, which show the design conventions of the period's grocery packaging.
