Improvements in the Method of Displaying Advertisements upon
Brushes.
1 WILLIAM LORD BALLIN HINDE of Priorsleigh Stratford Road Birmingham in
the County of Warwick Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
In ordinary hair and other brushes as at present constructed many attempts are
made to display the maker's name or trade mark, or the name or brand of the brush,
but the matter thus added to the handle, or the back of the brush is not of permanent
value as an advertisement, seeing that it becomes by constant usage very dull,
oftentimes obliterated altogether, and hidden by the hand when in use.
In carrying my invention into effect construct the back and handle of the brush
in any usual well known or ordinary manner; but before securing the bristles, hair,
wire, or other fibres, I paint, transfer, stamp, or otherwise affix upon the front portion
of the brush or bristle frame, the name of the maker, or the trade mark of the firm,
the brand of the brush or any other matter which it may be desirable to display
upon the brush as a constant and permanent advertisement.
After having thus affixed the advertisement matter, I thread or
bristles, wires, or other fibres, in any well known or ordinary manner.
secure the
The advertisement thus becomes protected by the fibres or wires of the brush,
and is easily and always apparent whenever the brush is raised for the purpose of
ordinary use, whereas advertisements placed upon the handle are covered and hidden
when in use.
I do not limit this my improved system of displaying advertisements to any
particular or peculiar kind of brush used for the hair or other domestic purposes;
but employ the same system of providing a permanent protected advertisement as
hereinbefore described for application to ordinary hair brushes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of Displaying Advertisements upon
Brushes.
I, WILLIAM LORD BALLIN HINDE of Priorsleigh, Stratford Road, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, 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 :-
In ordinary hair and other brushes as at present constructed, many attempts are
made to display the maker's name or trade mark, or the name or brand of the brush,
but the matter thus added to the handle or the back of the brush is not of permanent
value as an advertisement, seeing that it becomes by constant usage very dull,
oftentimes obliterated altogether, and hidden by the hand when in use.
In carrying my invention into effect 1 construct the back and handle of the brush
in any usual well known or ordinary manner, but before securing the bristles, hair,
wire, or other fibres, I paint, transfer, stamp, or otherwise affix upon the front portion
of the brush or bristle frame, the name of the maker, or the trade mark of the firm,
the brand of the brush, or any other matter which it may be desirable to display
upon the brush as a constant and permanent advertisement.

page_text: After having thus affixed the advertisement matter, I thread or secure the bristles,
wires or other fibres, in any well known or ordinary manner.
The advertisement thus becomes protected by the fibres or wires of the brush
and is easily and always apparent whenever the brush is raised for the purpose of
ordinary use, whereas advertisements placed upon the handle are covered and hidden
when in use.
I do not limit this my improved system of displaying advertisements to any
particular or peculiar kind of brush used for the hair, or other domestic purposes;
but employ the same system of providing a permanent protected advertisement as
hereinbefore described for application to ordinary hair brushes.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of a brush when
constructed in the ordinary way having my improved method of displaying advertise-
ments arranged thereon.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the brush.
Upon the front side of the stock or frame A I paint transfer, stamp or otherwise
affix the advertisement matter or mark that is to be displayed such as
"The very
brush" before the bristles, hair or wires are attached in the ordinary method of
construction. The stock I then secure to the back B in any usual well known or
ordinary manner.
I employ the same system of displaying advertisements upon brushes when using
wires instead of ordinary bristles.
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―
The construction of brushes having advertisements displayed upon the stocks of
the brushes as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and substantially as set
forth in the accompanying drawings.
