Two women dancing together set this Buckeye Girls label apart from the many cigar box labels that showed a single portrait or a stiff, posed figure. Lithographed paper labels like this were pasted onto wooden cigar boxes in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when color printing had become cheap enough for makers to compete for shoppers' attention with bright, memorable art. A brand name such as Buckeye suggested a place or an idea, while the lively figures were meant to make a box stand out on the counter. Labels like this also show how commercial artists pictured women at leisure during that period.
