- 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 Waldorf brand apple crate label was used by S. Albertson Company Inc. of Yakima, Washington during the early 20th century. The lithographed label has a dark blue background, with an illustration of a young male bellhop carrying an oversized apple on his tray. The label is likely referencing the popular Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
