A crate label that pairs the Liberty Bell with the word "Independent" is a neat piece of early twentieth-century marketing. Independent was a common brand name for fruit packed by growers' cooperatives and independent shippers, many of them in the apple-growing regions of the Pacific Northwest and the Eastern states. Labels like this were pasted onto wooden crates so that a buyer at a distant market could recognize the grower at a glance. Patriotic symbols such as the Liberty Bell were a popular choice, since they signaled quality and national pride. Such labels are now prized by collectors for their bright chromolithographed color.
