CAN YOU HELP? CYLER CONRAD WROTE TO US:
My family had apple and pear orchards for several generations in a portion of north-central Washington (USA) centered around the towns of Pateros, Methow and Brewster. Currently, I run a historical website dedicated to the history, and to trying to track down historical photos and apple/pear labels:It’s interesting because I keep learning about shipments of crates of fruit during the 20th century down to Australia!I suspect this is a long-shot, but do you know if there are any fruit label collectors as part of your society that I might be able to check and see if they have labels from where my family had orchards?Thanks for any help you can provide!
