The History of Sundquist Orchard Tracts

In the early days, the company was known as Sunnyslope Orchard Tracts, facing debt and investor claims. Ralph Sundquist's visionary leadership helped pay off debts and acquire additional acreage in Yakima. By the late 1920s, heightened prices allowed for increased fruit production.

Ralph understood the importance of labels in marketing his fruit, which led to the trademarked phrases emphasizing the quality and vertical integration of the operations.

During the Great Depression, Sundquist adapted by renting facilities and eliminating middleman costs. In 1935, he purchased a cold storage plant on Yakima's produce row, expanding production and storage facilities.

In 1950, Ralph's son Marvin joined the business, leading to further growth and modernization. The company remains family-owned with the fourth generation involved since 2008.

Crate Labels are timeless treasures reflecting bygone eras. Consider adding this vintage advertising to your home decor collection for a touch of nostalgia!
