NEW WAY TO SMOKE
TOUCH A BUTTON!
LIGHTED CIGARETTES
COME OUT OF MAGIC CASE
IMAGINE this! You take a beautiful case from your vest pocket! Automatically a cigarette and a flame appear. You puff . . . and a LIGHTED, ready-to-smoke cigarette is delivered right between your lips. Smokers crowd ’round
when you use it . . . they gaze in wonder . . . everyone of them wants a Magic Case. Just use a Magic Case half a dozen times a day and you will get a money-making thrill such as you never had before. You can hand out Magic Cases almost as fast as you can take in the money.
Try it AT MY RISK
Make up to $16 a Day!
You never saw anything like the Magic Case before in your life. It’s got Novelty,
Practical Utility, Universal Demand. Let me send one to you for 15 days’ trial at my risk. Just use it . . show it . . . watch smokers reach for it . . . eager to buy. Agents are coining money fast. You can, too. Write quick.

Hi John,
I just bought one of these too. I think its the coolest thing. What did u pick yours up for, Im just trying to figure out the value? This is the only page i have been able to find that says anything about the little contraption. If you have any information about it, that would be appreciated.
Thanks Megan

Actually I picked mine up on ebay, I’m not a collector or anything but i just thought it was really neat, in fact i dont even smoke that much, but if i did i wanted to do it in style. I got mine for 65 bucks i think it was good deal, so where did you get yours at?
