This label measures 9.5” Tall x 7” Wide and dates back to the 1940s. It is the earlier Gulf Brand Texas Vegetables label before zip codes. It is from the Gulf Distributing Co. in Weslaco, Texas. We also have the smaller 1950s labels. Weslaco was named after the W. E. Stewart Land Company who developed the area and is the geographic center of the Rio Grande Valley making it a center for business throughout the Valley.
These crate labels date back to days when growers packed their produce in wooden crates. The label was glued to the end of the box so the grower would be instantly identified when the vegetables or fruits were displayed in stores.
WE GUARANTEE OUR LABELS TO BE AUTHENTIC AND AS DESCRIBED!
