An Improved Means of Displaying Advertisements.
I, CHARLES WRIGHT, of 183, Tennant Street, Five Ways, City of Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Painter and Decoration, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved means of dis-
playing advertisements and has for its object an arrangement whereby an adver-
tisement may be displayed on coats or jackets in a neat and attractive manner
thus saving the employment of sandwich boards.
I carrying my invention into effect I provide an ordinary cloth coat or jacket
and attach to the back and front a Jib or front made of white leather of a suit-
able size and shape upon which advertisements may be displayed. The said
bibs are attached either by sewing or by buttons or by other suitable means or
the same may be made up with the coat or jacket I display the advertisement
on the bib by stencilling thereon by what is commonly known as distemper
colours in any suitable tints. When it is desired to change the advertisement
the letters may be washed off the leather bib by means of sponge and hot water.
In some cases I may use parchment or any other suitable material for the
bib or front instead of white leather aforesaid and I may vary the colour of the
bib or letters as circumstances may require for producing effect.

County of Warwick, Painter and Decorater, 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 as hereinafter described to an improved means of dis-
playing advertisements and has for its object an arrangement whereby an adver-
tisement may be displayed on coats or jackets in a neat and attractive manner
thus saving the employment of sandwich boards.
In carrying my invention into effect I provide an ordinary cloth coat or jacket
and attach to the back and front a bib or front made of white leather of a suit-
able size and shape upon which advertisements may be displayed. The said

page_text: bibs are attached either by sewing or by buttons or by other suitable means or
the same may be made up with the coat or jacket. I display the advertisement
on the bib by stencilling thereon with what are commonly known as distemper
colours in any suitable tint.
When it is desired to change the advertisement the letters may be washed off
the leather bib by means of a sponge and hot water.
In some cases I may use parchment or any other suitable material for the
bib or front instead of white leather aforesaid and I may vary the colour of the
bib or letters as circumstances may require for producing effect.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I will describe it
by reference to the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 represents a plan of my invention in which the two bibs A, and B,
are shaped A, to fit the chest and B the back of the cutaway part, C is arranged
to fit the neck and advertisements are displayed on the surfaces in the manner
shown on the drawing. The straps D, D, are arranged to fit over the shoulder
as illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings and the straps E, E, and F, F,
are arranged to connect the bibs to the waist. The tab G buttons on to a button
attached to the front of a coat and the tab G2 to a button on the back of the coat.
In Figures 2 and 3 the device is shown attached to the coat back and front.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
-
1. The improved means of displaying advertisements upon leather or other
bibs and attaching the same to the front and back of a coat or jacket substantially
as described and illustrated.
