No. 20102.--27th September, 1905.--THOMAS JOSEPH
WHELAN, of 182 Glenferrie Road, Glenferrie, Hawthorn,
Victoria, Australia, Clerk. Improvements in reversible labels
or address-holders.*

[NOTE.--The title in this case has been altered from that set out
in the provisional specification.]

Extract from Specification.--According to this invention,
reversible labels and reversible address-holders are constructed
of two plates adapted to fit together, as hereinafter
described, so that the upper or address plate may easily be
turned upside down on the face of the base-plate and reversed,
thereby exposing a different address on either side of
the address-plate as may be required. Provision is also made
for the insertion and conveyance of an invoice between the
plates. A modified form of the invention provides a reversible
label in which the base-plate is slotted to show the
name, and if preferred the address of the sender as well as
the name and address of the receiver. With this construction
an “emergency” label or address-card may be inserted
between the two plates of the label if required.

[NOTE.--The above extract from the specification is inserted in
place of the claims.
