Handy Lighter Built in Cane
ONE of the novel and striking features of the recent British industries exhibition was a walking stick equipped with a gasoline lighter for the convenience of smokers. The lighter is built into the handle of the cane, as photo below shows, and is brought into action by pressure on a small button. Such a device proves a great boon, for it saves considerable fussing around for a lighter or a match. The device is filled with gas from a small opening beneath the cover.
