PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Advertising Mediums.
I, HIPPOLYTE GAILLARD, of 15, Boulevard Saint-Denis, Paris, in the
Republic of France, Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows :-
This invention relates to improvements in advertising mediums.
The advertisements generally employed for permanent publication on public
walls are very soon destroyed by dampness and heat.
The object of this invention is to remedy these defects and provide an
advertising medium which resists the said influences and will not change.
According to my invention I glue the advertisement on paper upon a sheet of
zinc. By preference I employ zinc rolled very thin, the paper with the advertise-
ment on being also thin the said zinc plate will permit of being rolled up and thus
facilitate transport. I then varnish the whole so as to be completely isolated and
not be influenced by the change in the atmosphere, heat, dampness or frost. The
glue employed will be of a kind that will resist the action of great heat and not
become brittle and the paper will also protect the same against the influence of
the sun.
The advertising medium described may be made in any size but is specially
adapted for being made in large sizes.
Dated this 15th day of February 1896.
