Improvements in and in connection with Labels and the like.
I WILLIAM FRANK JOSEPH BARRETTE Hotel Proprietor Yacht Hotel High
Street Guernsey Channel Isles do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in and in connection with, labels and the
like, for protection against fraud in trade marks, and consists of a method of more
effectually ensuring cancellation or destruction of labels or tablets bearing trade
marks and the like so as to prevent their use or employment oftener than once.
For the purpose, I attach a strip of paper or other suitable material to and across
the back or front of the label or incorporate it in the said label, defining it by
perforations or perforated or indented or impressed or other lines or marks.
The back or attaching surface of the label is mucilaged on all or any of its
parts for attaching it to the article to be labelled, excepting the portion that is the
back of the said strip, which portion is to be and remain non-adhesive, and be
utilized if desired in any attractive or suitable manner or form or design calculated
to induce the public to be interested in and instrumental in destroying or cancelling
the label.
Dated this Twenty-first day of March 1894.
