History of Produce Crate Labels: Before produce growers and distributors started using cardboard boxes to ship their goods to market in the 1960s, fruits and vegetables were (and occasionally still are, by smaller growers) shipped in inexpensive wooden crates and adorned with beautifully crafted labels. And a very nice gallery with hundreds of Antique Produce Crate Labels. (via neurastenia)
