Citrus label collection now online
Citrus labels were created as a way of grabbing the eye of the buyer but their images endure. The library's collection includes many local brands and covers a wide range of subject matter. Also online: Wallace J. Miller's detailed illustrations of Riverside businesses from the 1890s.
