Don't Cry, Sweet Potatoes
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Vintage Label Design from Early 20th Century America This evocative and charming label design, titled "Don't Cry, Sweet Potatoes," transports us back to an earlier era in American history. The label, featuring a blue and green background with intricate yellow accents, was likely used for packaging crates of Louisiana Commercial Sweet Potatoes in the early 1900s. The label's central image is a playful scene of two boys, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, throwing dice on a wooden table. The boys, with their serious expressions and focused gaze, seem to be completely absorbed in their game, oblivious to the pile of dice and the potato peels that have accumulated around them. The label's title, "Don't Cry, Sweet Potatoes," adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the design. The phrase could be interpreted in several ways: perhaps it's a reminder to the boys not to cry over spilled milk or lost dice games, or maybe it's a reassurance to consumers that even if some potatoes are bruised or damaged during transportation, they should not be discarded, as they can still be delicious. The label's design also includes a black border with the image of a church and the words "Irvin & Wimberly, Church Point, Louisiana" at the bottom. This information suggests that the potatoes were grown and packaged locally, adding to their appeal and authenticity. Overall, this label design is a delightful snapshot of American history, showcasing the simple pleasures of rural life and the importance of food in our communities. Whether you're a collector of vintage packaging or simply appreciate the beauty of bygone eras, this label is sure to bring a smile to your face.
