Fruit crate labels like this one were printed to sell apples in a way that a buyer could recognize from across a store or a railcar. This example carries the Falls Brand name and the Chelan Falls Orchards imprint, tying the fruit to a specific packing operation in the Chelan region of central Washington. Apple growers there began shipping fruit in volume after railroads reached the valley in the early 1900s, and the colorful lithographed crate art of that period became a form of advertising in its own right. Pictures like this one show how packers used bold color and simple scenes to build brand loyalty among shoppers far from the orchards.
