1 WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street in the City and County of Bristol,
Grocers Outfitter 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

receive the prongs or wires of the ticket D. I desire to explain that any number of
holes or recesses may be provided in any part of the stand.
E is another view of the lower part of the complete stand A and F is the pivot
which holds in position at G the upper table H.
The upper table H may be constructed in two half circles and be held together by any
suitable ineans, or the half moons may be used seperately as illustrated at I. The face

displayed see PURE BUTTER. KKK are holes or recesses as at B. C. letter A.
The stand may be used complete as A or separately as E H or by the half
moon I.

they may be made of other substances.

invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
claim is-
