Improvements in Wrapping-up Papers for Various Goods. I
We FRANCIS ISIDORE BOULANGER Butcher of 62 High Street Margate, and
WALTER HENRY OTHO AINSLIE of Fernbank, Orpington, Kent Butcher, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :
Our invention consists in placing a number of advertisements upon one or both
sides of a sheet of paper, and it is our intention to guarantee that so many thousands
of these sheets of paper bearing these advertisements shall be placed with sundry
shop keepers for use in wrapping up their goods.
As the advertisements will be charged for according to the space which they
occupy, and according to the guarantee of the number of papers put forth, the said
wrapping papers will be able to be supplied to the shop keepers at a lower price
than the actual cost.of the paper itself, while still leaving a profit for the inventors.
We propose to divide up the area to be used for advertisements in a similar manner
to the advertisement column of a newspaper, and when dry goods are to be wrapped
up, the advertisement will appear upon both sides, but when this is not the case we
only propose to advertise upon one side of the paper.
Dated this 18th day of February 1895.
