I picked up this neat old crate from a yard sale a little while back. It is smaller than most crates you see. It held prunes from the "Sunshine State," California.
What captured my imagination were the words stamped on the bottom: Ottawa Civic Hospital, Ottawa. I guess these prunes were shipped directly to the hospital. Fresh prunes for patients. Nowadays you would be lucky to find a hospital that actually prepares food for patients on-site.
