English term or phrase: malacrino cigarette
They stopped at the lithograph shop, which was still open. The man behind the counter, fat and wearing suspenders and a colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up, inspected the dummies. His stubby fingers riffled the pages as Ferde Heinke and Joe Mantila stood circumspectly a short distance away.

"You want it folded and stapled, don't you?" The man scratched estimates with a ballpoint pen. "How many copies?"

Ferde Heinke told him around two hundred, and the man wrote that down. He also wrote complicated figures about the number of pages, size of pages, and cryptic letters suggesting the weight of paper, the type of chemical process.

"Can we go look at how it works?" Ferde asked, interested as always in seeing printing processes.

"Sure," the man said, smoking a malacrino cigarette. "Just keep out of the way."

They wandered past the counter and saw the negatives of several dummies from local corporations, and then the actual photographing equipment.
