Imagine yourself in an episode of 'Mad Men' and you just ran out of Lucky's... with the handsome and handy Stoner cigarette machine located right there in the lobby, you don't even have to run down to the newsstand at the corner to satisfy your cravings. You'll be back before Joanie even notices you're gone! Advertisement from Stoner Manufacturing Corporation, Aurora, Illinois, 1957.

Nevermind what the doc or the mrs. back home says, you're jonesing for some vintage candy in a major way, and the Stoner Univendor's calling like some sweet siren. You're only human - how can you resist? Besides, it's 1957 and the Russians are breathing down our necks like never before, so what's the big deal? It's not like that one Bit-O-Honey is going to make a difference when the other shoe drops. Advertisement from Stoner Manufacturing Corporation, Aurora, Illinois, 1957.

Picture yourself back in the 1950's: you're at a crossroads in life and you've been mulling over the decision to no avail, perhaps wandering the streets into the wee morning hours. The glint of neon flickering off chrome and glass beckons, and you fatefully stroll into some random diner or coffee shop. You take your seat among a smattering of other nocturnal zombies at a seemingly endless slab of formica, and, lo and behold, you reach for a napkin and the Swami appears! Problem solved. This clever fortune-telling machine doubled as a napkin holder - a long-time product of the Shipman Manufacturing Company of Los Angeles, California. Circa 1950's.
