HENRY WILLIAM LOWDEN White Hart Hotel Reigate Surrey Hotel Keeper
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 Improvements in working Names, Letters, Crests,
Emblems Trade Marks, ornamentations or Devices of any kind into the body of, and
forming part of any substance either of a perishable character or otherwise such as
Soap, Blue, Cocoa Chocolate Cosmetics Pastes Cement Plaster etc., so that the maker's
naine etc. of such article can be seen during the entire period of using and by such
means manufacturers are able to keep their names etc. before their customers and the
public until such article is entirely used up, or disposed of, or the same means may be
employed for other names etc. than that of the manufacturer and so form a valuable
medium for advertising. The manner of carrying such method of Improvement into
effect is explained as follows. Take for example Soap-having prepared the mould or
other receptacle into which the article or preparation is to be poured or made, and
also having prepared the names letters, devices etc. which are to be used you secure
such names, letters or device to a plate provided for that purpose and fixed at tho
bottom of the mould or other receptacle, you have also a similar plate fixed on the top
part of mould or other receptacle which passes over and secures the top part or these
names letters or devices etc. these top and bottom plates serve to keep the names
letters or device in position during the process of cooling or setting. You now fill the
mould or other receptacle with the Soap or other article in its liquid or semi-liquid
state. When this becomes cold or set you remove top or bottom plate or both if
necessary and withdraw the names, letters or device, the cavities thus caused by such
withdrawal are then filled up with liquid or semi-liquid Soap or any other material of
a different color or colors. When this latter becomes cold or set the whole is removed
from the mould or other receptacle and then cut up or formed into Tablets, Cakes,
Bars Blocks or pieces, of any size or weight having the names, letters or device etc.
running right through the entire body of such article, or the names letters devices etc.

page_text: may be made in the solid of the material intended to be used and inserted direct into
the mould or other receptacle which mould is afterwards filled up by the article
intended but the former method is preferable especially in cases where heat is applied
as the smaller body is more likely to cool quickly and not amalgamate with the larger
body whereas by the latter mode the heat of the larger body coming in contact with
the smaller body would be likely to have the reverse effect. It is distinctly understood
that Soap is only given as an illustration and to exemplify the value of this improve-
ment, but it can be, and is intended to apply to any other manufactured article or
composition.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Improve-
ment and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I claim is
The Improvement of introducing into the solid body of any substance composition,
or manufactured article Names, Letters, Crests, Emblems, Trade Marks, ornamentations
or other devices of any kind so that the same may be visable during the entire period
of using no matter how or what means are employed as and for the purpose set forth.
