A rider on horseback with a dog at her side, under the name "Nebraska Girl," sets this label apart from the other horse pictures on the board. Cigar makers in the late 1800s and early 1900s printed colorful lithographed labels like this one and pasted them onto the lids of wooden cigar boxes, where they worked as eye-catching advertising on store shelves. Images of women, horses, and dogs were popular because they suggested open country, leisure, and a cheerful, wholesome appeal. Plains and Western themes also appealed to buyers of the period.
