Few things on a cigar box label are as charming as a dog, and this one pairs its canine with the motto "Tried and True," a phrase that suggests reliability and loyalty, qualities a tobacco maker wanted associated with its product. Cigar box labels were printed in color by lithography from the late 1800s into the early 1900s, when they were among the most ornate commercial art a consumer might see. Makers often used pets, children and sporting scenes to catch a buyer's eye. Collectors today value these labels as small, mass-produced examples of graphic design from the period.
