notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This Skookum brand apple crate was in use by the Northwestern Fruit Growers Association of Seattle, Washington, in the early 20th century. Skookum was a Chinook word denoting “excellence.” Native American imagery was frequently depicted on the crate labels of various fruit distributors to evoke the idea of rich, natural produce. The Blue Goose label insert on this crate was a way for growers to maintain their product identity while benefiting from being in a large cooperative.
