Dehydrated apples were a specialty product in the early twentieth century, and this crate label for Southern Choice, issued by the Washington Dehydrated Food Co., shows how producers marketed them to grocers and buyers. The bold lettering and bright fruit imagery were meant to stand out in crowded wholesale warehouses, where shipping crates were stacked high and identified by their labels alone. Dried apples were prized for their light weight and long shelf life, which made them practical for shipping and for military and household stores. Labels like this one are worth noticing for the way they blend regional pride with the commercial design of their day.
