My Invention consists in the placing of advertisements, either pictorial, letterpress,

of covers, manufactured of paper, or any other material or materials, for the purpose of

dise, or other matters, sold, or otherwise distributed by tradesmen and others to their
customers or others. These bags, wrappers, and covers being issued to tradesmen.
and others free of charge, or for a consideration, for such distribution. To accomplish
this purpose, I rule or divide the surface or other portion of the bags, wrappers, or
other covers, into sections of a similar or of varying sizes, into some only, or all
of which sections I place advertisements, emanating either from the person or persons
issuing the bags, wrappers, or other covers, or from others. The bags, wrappers, or
other covers, may have one, or any other number of advertisements upon some
portion or the whole of their surface, according to the space to be occupied, or as
may be required or desired. This division into sections may be made by simply
ruling off the surface or such portion as required, into lines at right or any other
angles, one to another, or it may be accomplished by means of placing an ornamental
or a geometrical device, of a regular or irregular nature thereon, in some one or more
portion or portions of which the advertisements are placed as may be required or
desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.―
1. A new system of advertising on bags, wrappers, and other covers, substantially
as described.
2. These same advertisements may be produced in any convenient way as may be
desired, and in whatever convenient form as may be suitable.
3. These advertisements may be on one or more portion of some part of the bag,
wrapper, or other cover, as set forth.

page_text: 4. The said bags, wrappers, or other covers, may be for purpose of enclosing goods
or merchandise either sold, or distributed in some other manner, or for the enclosing
or wrapping of samples of goods or merchandise.
5. The number of advertisements is unlimited, and may consist of one, two, or
more, according to circumstances.
6. These bags, wrappers, or other covers to be given to tradesmen and others, free
