- 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 Cruise brand apple crate label was used by the Chelan-Manson Cooperative Association Inc., of Chelan, Washington during the early 20th century. The lithographed label was produced by the Ridgway Lithography Company of Seattle, Washington. The label features an image of a motorboat on a lake that is surrounded by apple trees, with mountains rising up in the distance. Fruit crate labels often depicted landscapes like this to evoke the idea of rich, natural produce.
