label: Description (Brief)
content: This Nuchief brand apple crate label was in use from 1900-1950. The lithographed label was produced by the Schmidt L. Company of Seattle, Washington. The label has an image of a young Native American boy wearing a headdress and carrying an apple and a hatchet. There is a Smith’s Treat brand label insert on the label. These apples were grown by Smith Orchards of Pateros, Washington and distributed by Nuchief Sales, Inc. Growers, packers, and distributors in the Northwest banded together in co-operatives to secure the best price for their produce and compete with growers in other regions.
