I, WILLIAM HENRY MONTHERMER MONTAGUE of Tower Chambers, Moorgate
Street, London E.C. Wine Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:―
This invention relates to certain improvements in match-boxes and like receptacles

of wine spirits or champagne or the like are packed in the ordinary way of trade.
The outer box of the case is made so as to represent the straps of split bands
wherewith the cases are bound, this is to be done either by pressing up the box
casing from the flat or by laying over the same a band or bands which may be
pressed in with the rolling of the sheet front which the cover of the box is made
rolled or pressed.
The box cover so prepared is formed into a square or elongated square shaped
casing and this is to be stamped or marked with the particular device of the brand
of the wine or spirit to be advertised.
This stamping or branding of the outer casing may be made by printing or by
impression of desired kind.
