Fruit Crate Label
Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- Labels are an important marketing device. They often go beyond merely identifying contents and are designed to help establish brand distinction and generate customer loyalty for a largely interchangeable product.
- This Family Choice brand fruit crate label was distributed by the Fleming Companies Inc., of Topeka, Kansas in the early 20th Century. The red lithographed label features an illustration of a family popping up from a blue house. Founded in 1915, the Fleming Companies Inc. is now one of the largest food wholesalers in the United States.
