Fruit Shipping Crate
name: label: referenced business
content: Redlands Foothill Groves
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This shipping crate side contained Summit brand fruit packed by the Redlands Foothill Groves of Redlands, California during the early 20th century. The label was printed by the Western Lithograph Company of Los Angeles, California. The label has an image of a large snowy mountain in the background, with a foreground illustration of a cowboy riding a horse and leading a trail of pack horses. These nature scenes were a common motif in fruit crate labels as an attempt to invoke a sense of fresh, natural produce in the consumer.
