label: Description (Brief)
content: This Blue W brand apple crate label was in use by the Dow Fruit Company of Wenatchee, Washington during the early 20th century. The lithographed label was produced by the Traung Label Company of Seattle, Washington. The orange label has a large blue “W” in the center, with a small red apple on the branch to the lower left. The Wenatchee Valley in the Columbia River basin was one of the largest apple producing regions in the United States, claiming to be the “Apple Capital of the World.”
