ovements in the Production of Toilet and other Paper to be
Employed for Advertising Purposes.
I, MORRIS HART, of 40 and 41, Kirby Street, Hatton Garden, in the County of
Middlesex, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has for its object the production of toilet and other paper to be
employed for advertising purposes.
In the specification filed in pursuance of my application for Letters Patent dated
29th July, 1885, No. 9,106, is described apparatus for unreeling, perforating and
re-reeling paper into rolls for toilet and other purposes; each strip of paper being
perforated at regular intervals for the purpose of facilitating its separation into short
lengths as required for use.
My present invention consists in the utilisation of such pieces of toilet paper for
advertising purposes and in the manner in which and means whereby the said
advertisements or announcements are produced.
and
The letters, words, figures or other signs, composing the advertisement or other
announcement are arranged along the edge or edges of each piece of toilet paper
are traced in lines of perforations of the kind in common use for facilitating the
separation of postage stamps and for other purposes.
By the employment of appropriate dies, the perforations appertaining to the
advertised matter and those for facilitating the separation of the roll of paper into
short lengths may be produced at a single punching operation.
Rolls of paper intended for other than toilet purposes may be treated in a similar
manner. For example, a roll of paper may be divided by means of a row of perfora-
tions into short lengths. suitable for postal wrappers; each length bearing letters,
words, figures or other signs produced by perforations, and having one of its edges
furnished with mucilage.

Improvements in the Production of Toilet and other Paper to be
Employed for Advertising Purposes.
I, MORRIS HART, of 40 and 41, Kirby Street, Hatton Garden; in the County of
Middlesex, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object the production of toilet and other paper to be
employed for advertising purposes.
In the specification filed in pursuance of my application for Letters Patent dated
29th July, 1885, No. 9,106, is described apparatus for unreeling, perforating and
re-reeling paper into rolls for toilet and other purposes; each strip of paper being
perforated at regular intervals for the purpose of facilitating its separation into short
lengths as required for use.
My present invention consists in the utilisation of such pieces of toilet paper for
advertising purposes and in the manner in which and means whereby the said
advertisements are produced.

page_text: The letters, words, figures or other signs, composing the advertisement or other
announcement are arranged along the edge or edges of each piece of toilet paper and
are traced in lines of perforations of the kind in common use for facilitating the
separation of postage stainps and for other purposes.
By the employment of appropriate dies, the perforations appertaining to the
advertised matter and those for facilitating the separation of the roll of paper into short
lengths may be produced at a single punching operation.
In the accompanying drawing is represented a piece of advertising toilet paper a,
prepared in the manner described, a portion of the next piece al in the roll being also
shewn. The two pieces a and a¹ are divided by a line of perforations b, along which
separation may be readily effected. Immediately below the perforations b, the words
Morris Hart," appear as illustrative of the manner in which any desired advertise-
ment may be produced, the letters constituting the same being punched by the same
machine and at the same time as the perforations b.
Rolls of paper intended for other than toilet purposes may be treated in a similar
manner. For example; a roll of paper may be divided by means of a row of perfora-
tions into short lengths suitable for postal wrappers; each length hearing letters,
words, figures or other signs produced by perforations, and having one of its edges
furnished with mucilage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
1. The utilisation of toilet paper for advertising purposes-substantially as described,
the words or other signs composing the advertisement being produced by means of
perforations and being arranged along the edge or edges of each separate sheet.
2. In the preparation of advertising toilet paper, producing at a single punching
operation the perforations appertaining to the advertised matter and those for
facilitating the separation of one sheet from another.
Dated this 25th day of April 1889.
