"I save yer the core," is a trade card from the "Terrors of America" set, issued by W. Duke, Sons & Co. to promote Honest Long Cut Tobacco. Printed between 1888-1889, the card features a young boy eating an apple, emphasizing the "core" of the tobacco product, much like the apple's core. The card exemplifies the popular genre of trade cards used in the late 19th century to advertise products. The detailed illustration and colorful design contribute to the visual appeal of the card, making it a fascinating artifact of American advertising history.
