One can learn some cool stuff from you guys. I just happen to have a Locomotive Engineer fruit box end, also for Nalbandian, although the blue flag to the left of the loco illustration is not labelled for any particular kind of produce. I found mine at a garden centre in St Catharines, Ontario in the Niagara Peninsula. They were using the box as a plant flat so I asked if I could buy it and they gave it to me. The label is now part of my model railroad decor. Jim

But few know that the man behind the label was once an engineer on the Erie. Thomas Mouradick was an Armenian emigrant who worked for the Erie running coal trains between Cleveland and Randall, OH in the early 1900s. After many years of service with the Erie, he went west and hired on with the Santa Fe before becoming a fruit grower and shipper near Lone Star, CA. A successful grower, Mouradick shipped many carloads of fruit to eastern markets over the Erie.
