The cigarette machine shows cigarette cartons. Each machine has two rows of buttons or knobs for selections. Standing in front of the candy machine is a young black woman, wearing a white, lightweight formal-looking blouse with tight cuffs and slightly billowy sleeves, and a broad rectangular collar.
