Symms Sunny Slope is the brand name printed across this crate label, a reminder that apples in the early twentieth century were sold as much by their packaging as by their taste. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so buyers in distant cities could recognize a grower's fruit at a glance. Bright chromolithographed scenes, orchard landscapes, and fanciful lettering were common, since a good label helped a grower stand out at auction and in grocery stores. Labels such as this one now serve as a window into the regional fruit trade and the commercial art that promoted it.
