ILLUSION:
One of Houdini's most spectacular escape feats
was performed with a huge milk can filled with
water. 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.

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.
