Box Of Apples is an online museum of fruit crate labels from the early 1900s to 1950s. Back in the days of our grandparents and their parents, people did their produce-shopping at markets that were more like a farmer's market than today's grocery stores.The fruit and vegetables would be displayed in their shipping crates somewhere near the railroad tracks, probably under a big shed. Each crate would have a label showing the name of the packer, and a colorful design to differentiate the brand.
