David GoffRT&S was the advertising co. who sold these. They are not tobacco cards, but were a series of cards designed to be glued in scrapbooks. Hence the nickname "Scrapps" Back in the 1880's, scrap booking was very popular, much like today. It is assumed they were sold mainly to children for them to put in books. Which is why most of them are found with backs that have glue residue or missing. If I am wrong, can someone correct me.
