Improvements in or connected with Continuous Toilet-paper and in
Holders therefor, such Holders being applicable for use with
Continuous Paper for other than Toilet Purposes.
We, ROBERT LOUIS TWEDDELL, of 6, Holborn Mount, Holderness Road,
Kingston-upon-Hull, in the County of York, and GEORGE FREDERICK SEATH,
of 23, Denmark Avenue, Holderness Road, Hull, in the County of York, Clerks,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists, first, in utilizing continuous toilet paper for advertising
purposes, and, secondly, in an improved construction of holder adapted for the
reception of rolls of continuous paper suitable for toilet purposes, or for date
calendars, memorandum sheets, &c., and designed to display in an advantageous
manner the printed matter borne by such paper.
In carrying out this invention, we employ rolls of paper, preferably of the kind
perforated at intervals to facilitate separation into short lengths or sheets, and on
each such sheet we print or otherwise produce an advertisement or advertisements.
The holder consists of a metal or wooden box for the reception of the roll of
paper, which may be placed loosely therein or arranged to rotate on a spindle.
The box is provided with a flat casing which extends vertically, and through which
the paper is drawn. This casing is furnished with a window-like opening preferably
of a size adapted to expose one length of the paper. The printed or other matter
borne by the paper is seen through the glazed opening.
In a holder containing toilet paper, or paper for other than toilet purposes, such
as for date calendars, memorandum sheets, &c., constructed as above described, the
printed matter is always exposed to view in a way well calculated to attract
notice.

Holders therefor, such Holders being applicable for use with
Continuous Paper for other than Toilet Purposes.
We, ROBERT LOUIS TWEDDELL, of 6, Holborn Mount, Holderness Road,
Kingston-upon-Hull, in the County of York, and GEORGE FREDERICK SEATH,
of 23, Denmark Avenue, Holderness Road, Hull, in the County of York, Clerks,
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 :-
This invention relates to an improved construction of holder adapted for the

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a holder constructed in accordance with the
present invention;

page_text: The holder consists of a metal or wooden box a for the reception of the roll of
paper, which may be placed loosely therein or arranged to rotate on a spindle.
The sides, front and upper surface (if desired) may. be utilized for displaying
advertisements. The box is provided with a flat casing c through which the
paper b¹ is drawn. This casing is furnished with a glazed or window-like opening c
preferably of a size adapted to expose one length of the paper; the printed or
other matter borne by the paper being seen through the glazed opening. The
frame of the casing containing the glass panel may if desired be hinged to the
back portion a¹ and secured in position by any suitable catch such as d. In order
to facilitate the grasping of the paper for the purpose of drawing same through
the casing c, a portion of the frame may be cut away at c², and a recess a be
formed in the back board a'. The apparatus may be affixed to a wall or other
surface by means of nails passing through the eye-pieces e. The rolls may be
introduced through an opening in the back of the box or through the top of the
box by providing the cover thereof with hinges so that it can be raised for the
purpose.
In a holder containing toilet-paper, or paper for other than toilet purposes, such
as for date calenders, memorandum, sheets, etc, constructed as above described, the
printed matter is always exposed to view in a way well calculated to attract
notice.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :-
The improved holder for use with rolls of continuous paper, perforated at
intervals to facilitate separation into short lengths or sheets and adapted for toilet
or other purposes, constructed substantially as herein described and comprising a
box for the reception of the roll and a dependent casing through which the paper
