This dramatic apple crate label measures 10.3” Wide x 8.75” High and is from the 1950s. The label was lithographed by Stecher-Traung Litho. Of San Francisco, California and shows the snow covered Crystal Peak Mountain in the background. Crystal Peak is a rocky peak located in the NE corner of Mount Rainier National Park. Crystal Peak stands between the stunning spires of Norse Peak and the summit of Mount Rainier's northeastern side.
The apples were grown, packed, and shipped by Gilbert Orchards, Inc. of Yakima, Washington. Gilbert Orchards began in 1897 when H.M. Gilbert and Marion Richey Gilbert made their way west from Geneseo, Illinois to start a new life in the Yakima Valley. Cragg D. Gilbert took the leadership role after WWII service and his completion of college. The company is still in business today led by Cragg and Virginia’s four children and Gilbert Orchards has now expanded into growing grapes and has a winery.
