- 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 Glacier Peak brand apple crate label was used by Washington Fruit Growers, Inc. of Wenatchee, Washington during the early 20th century. The label was lithographed by Stecher-Traung of San Francisco, California. The label has a blue background, with a large red apple in the foreground, and an inset image of a mountainous peak. These apples came from the Wenatchee Valley region of Washington, an area that claimed to be the “Apple Capital of the World.”
