Apple Crate Label
Apple Crate Label
- Description (Brief)
- Labels are an important marketing device. They often go beyond merely identifying contents and are designed to help establish brand distinction and generate customer loyalty for a largely interchangeable product.
- This Clipper Ship brand apple crate label was used by the Wells and Wade Fruit Company of Wenatchee, Washington during the early 20th century. The lithographed label has a blue background with an illustration of the clipper ship Erskine M. Phelps sailing over a dark blue ocean. These apples are from Wenatchee, a region famous for its apple production.
