PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lettering or Figuring Show-cards, Window-tickets,
Plaques, and other Objects or Surfaces.
1, JAMES FORREST Junior, of 355 Argyle Street Glasgow, Window Ticket and
Show-card Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
When it is desired, at present, to write names or figures upon advertising show-
cards, window tickets and the like the letters or figures are usually written or drawn
in ink or colour by a brush or hair pencil and when it is desired to give the letters
or figures an embossed or raised appearance the paper or card is usually pressed or
stamped by a machine for this purpose.
My invention has for its object to write or apply on or to show or other cards or
tickets, plaques, glass or wooden articles or any other suitable objects or surfaces
advertising or ornamental letters numerals or devices or combinations of any or all
of these in an improved manner whereby the lettering and figuring can be quickly
applied and in such a way that the lettering or figuring will appear raised or
embossed upon the surface to which they are applied thus presenting a neat and
artistic appearance.
In carrying out my improvements, instead of writing the letters or figures with
ink or colour as heretofore, I write them, on the card, ticket, plaque, or other
surface with composition. The composition is run, in the liquid or plastic form, on
to the surface to be ornamented or written on, from any suitable form of reservoir
or vessel which has, preferably, a small delivery spout, opening, or nozzle. As the
vessel or reservoir is properly manipulated or moved about the composition is run
or forced out and the letters, figures, or devices are thereby traced or drawn upon
the surface. The composition adheres to and congeals on the surface so as to form
raised letters, figures, or devices thereon.
Colouring matters may be added to the composition or mixed therewith for the
purpose of producing coloured letters or figures, or the composition, after being
applied, may be frosted or be gilded, silvered or bronzed or otherwise coloured in
any well known and suitable manner.

1, JAMES FORREST of 355 Argyle Street, Glasgow, Window-ticket and Show-
card 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 :-

When it is desired, at present, to write names or figures upon advertising show-
cards, window-tickets and the like the letters or figures are usually written or drawn
in ink or colour by a brush or hair pencil, and, when it is desired to give the letters
or figures an embossed or raised appearance, the paper or card is usually pressed or

My invention has for its object to write or apply on or to show or other cards or
tickets, plaques, glass or wooden articles or any other suitable objects or surfaces,

all of these, in an improved manner, whereby the lettering or figuring can be
quickly applied and in such a way that the lettering or figuring will appear raised
or embossed upon the surface to which it is applied thus presenting a neat and
artistic appearance.
In carrying out my improvements instead of writing the letters or figures with
ink or colour, as heretofore, I write them, on the card, ticket, plaque, or other
surface with composition. The composition is run, in the liquid or plastic form, on
to the surface to be ornamented or written on, from any suitable form of reservoir
or vessel which has, a small delivery spout or equivalent opening or nozzle. As
the vessel or reservoir is properly manipulated or moved about the composition is
run or forced out and the letters, figures, or devices are thereby traced or drawn
upon the surface. The composition adheres to and congeals on the surface so as to
form raised letters, figures, or devices thereon.
Colouring matters may be added to the composition or mixed therewith for the
purpose of producing coloured letters or figures; or the composition, after being
applied, may be frosted, or be gilded, silvered or bronzed or otherwise coloured in
any well known and suitable manner.
Any suitable plastic composition can be used for forming the letters or figures
although I prefer to use a composition formed of a mixture of stucco or whiting,
glue, and colouring pigments or metallic powders, according to the style of lettering
required.
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 :-
:-
Writing or applying, on objects or surfaces, advertising or ornamental letters,
numerals, or devices, or combinations of any or all of these, with composition, so as
to give a raised or embossed appearance, substantially in the manner herein before
described.
