"Get off there! Do you think I'm a feather bed?," from the *Terrors of America* set (N136) is a trade card issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. The card features a humorous illustration of two boys riding on a man’s back, with the man yelling at them to get off. The *Terrors of America* series was popular in the late 19th century as a form of advertising for tobacco products. The trade card’s bright colors and comical scene are characteristic of the popular trade card style of the time.
