Chazy Orchards is the name that stands out on this crate label, set against a red apple and a globe motif that were common visual shorthand for fruit shipped far from the orchard. Crate labels like this one were pasted onto wooden shipping boxes so that buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's brand at a glance. Chazy is a town in the North Country of New York, a region long known for its apple growing, and labels of this kind helped a small orchard compete with larger shippers. The globe signaled that the fruit was meant for national and even overseas markets, and the bright chromolithographed colors were designed to catch the eye on crowded store shelves and docks.
