The California citrus box labels, a subset within the Jay T. Last collection of food, contains more than 1000 lithographed labels that relate to the California citrus industry in the United States from 1880 to 1960, with the bulk of the collection dating from 1910 through 1930. The collection consists largely of lithographed labels produced for Southern Californian growers, packers and distributors to identify brand names and packing locations on wooden crates of oranges, lemons and grapefruits. The majority of labels were printed by Los Angeles and San Francisco lithographers, such as the Western Lithograph Company and the Schmidt Lithograph Company.
