A brightly colored crate label for Jim Dandy Apples places a single fruit brand at the center of a board otherwise focused on Thanksgiving foods. Labels like this were pasted onto wooden shipping crates so growers could sell their produce by name, and from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century, lithographed crate art was a popular way to catch a buyer's eye at the store. Apples were a natural fit for the holiday, since the autumn harvest supplied the fruit for pies, sauces and cider that filled many American tables.
