Object Details
- 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 Blue Circle brand orange crate label was used by the McDermont Fruit Company of Riverside, California during the early 20th century. The label was lithographed by the Western Lithograph Company of Los Angeles, California. The label has a blue background with different size light blue circles, and an image of an orange labeled Sunkist. The label also has the Sunkist logo on it, a designation given to high quality oranges grown by the California Fruit Growers Exchange.
