He invited persons of the audience to bring padlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the can, the lid was put on and fastened with several padlocks. A screen was placed in front of the can. Assistants stood by with stop watches and fire axes to save him from drowning after a certain time. About a minute later, the screen was removed, Houdini was seen panting and dripping... the padlocks remaining intact! EXPLANATION: The usual method of escaping from a milk can is as follows: The lid of the can is apparently secure ly padlocked to the lower portion, but actually the metal band to which the staples are attached is the top of a short inner lining. The performer, after being locked into the can, pushes the lid upward with his head and the short inner lining is forced out of place, permitting his escape. The screen is then removed. Copyright, 1933, It. J. Beynolda Tobacco Company ■ _ArO TRICKS .. J ITST COSTLIER TOBACCOS IN A MATCHLESS BLEND /t's fuw to re J^oozed ... y/S MORE FEN to jKetow What exciting magic there is in cigarette advertising! Let’s look at one of its greatest illusions ...that cigarettes can be mysteriously given superior "flavor." the explanation: Just three factors con trol the flavor of a cigarette.The addition of artificial flavoring...the blending of various tobaccos...and the quality of the tobaccos themselves. Quality is the most impor tant. Artificial flavoring can never wholly disguise the poor flavor of cheap tobaccos. The blending of several cheap, raw to baccos cannot improve the flavor of any of them. A fine cigarette is a cigarette blended from costly, ripe tobaccos. •* Is a fact, well known by leaf to bacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. This is why the Camel flavor has never been rivaled . . . why Camels have given more pleasure to more people than any other cigarette ever made. In more costly tobaccos lies the secret of Camels’ delicate “bouquet”...of their rich, cool flavor—of their non-irritating mildness. It’s the tobacco that counts. All the natural goodness of Camel’s to bacco is kept fresh and rich for you by the air-tight, welded Humidor Pack. Don’t re move it. Its moisture-proof cellophane also protects your Camels from dust and germs. Put a pack in your pocket today. mMM€hS
