Hood River, in the Columbia Gorge, built much of its reputation on apples, and crate labels like this one were the sales pitch that rode out of the valley on every box. The Webster Brand name sits at the center of the design, the kind of colorful lithographed label that growers pasted onto wooden crates so buyers in distant markets could recognize a grower's fruit on the shelf. Labels from the early twentieth century like this were often printed in bold, saturated inks and showed orchards, mountains, or fruit in full color, and they tell us as much about how the region marketed itself as they do about the apples inside.
