Few crate labels from the early twentieth century carry a company name as unusual as this one, which joins the surnames of two partners, A. Levy and J. Zentner, into a single brand. The "L-Z" mark on this apple label worked as a shorthand that growers and buyers could recognize at a glance across a crowded packing shed or railway platform. Fruit labels like this one were pasted onto wooden boxes to advertise the grower or packer, and they were often colorful, since bright artwork helped a crate stand out in city shops. Labels of this kind are valuable to historians of American agriculture because they record which packing houses shipped fruit and how regional brands competed for buyers.
