Scope and content
The Washington State Apple Commission ran a promotion in March, 1958, in local supermarkets extolling the virtues of the state fruit, the apple. Washington State apples come in many varieties, sizes and colors. Three people in the produce department unwrap a banner indicating bargain days for apples and to "Buy 'em Now!" Because baseball was so popular for both young and old, apple sellers hoped to entice ball players to devour the fruit by claiming beneficial effects with "Here's Big League Energy." Shoppers would be greeted by rows of many varieties of apples, some wrapped in tissue, at reasonable prices. Photograph ordered by Washington State Apple Commission, Wenatchee.
