This Wise Bird brand produce label would have been attached on the shipping boxes of oranges which were produced in Winter Haven, FL. These labels were common on boxes of produce and were used for advertising and for shipping purposes. This label is mounted on board in a thin "frame".
First appearing in the United States during the 1880s, paper crate labels were designed to draw attention to produce boxes and make them stand out at public markets. Labels helped identify a box’s contents, company name, and source location while this produce was en route. Primarily affixed to the ends of wooden boxes containing fresh fruits and vegetables, crate labels were also an early form of company branding and advertising, featuring full-color lithographed imagery with clever slogans and logos.
