This apple display in the window of the Totem Market, 933-37 Market St., in January of 1938 was part of an advertising campaign to encourage the consumption of Washington grown apples. Washington's apples were started from seeds brought to a Hudson's Bay Company settlement in the Pacific Northwest from London by a Captain Simpson. In 1938 at least one of these trees was still standing in Vancouver, WA. In 1894, the first carload of apples was shipped east of the Mississippi River with the result that by 1938 Washington was the "Apple Bowl" of the world, producing one out of every four apples grown in the United States. (Ordered by H.L. Moreman, for Washington State Apple Advertising Commission.) (TNT 1/21/1938, pg. 7)
