Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-

to which the label is attached. On the outside I may add any special instructions
as to the contents of the pocket of the label. Words I specially intend to use are
"Invoice inside.' A label as above may be made of any suitable material for
labels, and for any shape or appearance for labels. The inlet for the article to be
carried is preferred to be at the bottom, and to be closed with a gummed flap like
an envelope. When the label is to be tied to the parcel, one end is folded, and has
the usual eye-let hole and cord to attach it by. When the label is to be pasted on.
the parcel, I cut the material of which the label is made, so that the flap turns
upwards when the label is pasted down; and the join of the material preferably
comes along near the underside of one edge, or fold. I may add a string in one of
the folds of the label to facilitate opening.
Dated this 12th day of October 1893.
