trade-name, and in addition it may bear a size mark orvother matter descriptive or indicative of the article, its material, its cut, color-fastness, sewing, etc.
To promote their good-will many retailers and some jobbers require the manufacturer to apply their own labels, which for convenience may b vtermed customers labels, and the general desire, 4when this is done, is that the manufacturers label should not show. In some instances the manufacturers labels are removed, but this takes time and involves expense; furthermore some garments are damaged in the operation and become seconds or thirds.
Therefore, it is common practice to put the' customers label, over the manufacturers` label., 4If the customers label is not large enough to cover the manufacturers label, the resulting appearance is such that the advantage accruing to the retailer or jobber from his own label is partly lost, and the public may conclude that the goods are seconds or close-outs. choose to have comparatively small labels. It is one of the advantages of this invention that, Ythough the customers label need not completely cover the manufacturers label, ybenefit of customers labels is not sacrificed and the publid is not led to under-rate the goods.
According to this invention the main part of the manufacturers label and;I all or practically all of the stitching that secures this label to the garment may be concealed by the customers label, but a part of the manufacturers label displaying descriptive matter (size, material, cut, or color-fastness, sewing, etc.) may be left exposed, not 4'only without detriment but to advantage. Thus, it is unimportant whether the customers label be larger in both dimensions than the manufacturers label, and the extending part of the manufacturers label takes the place of separate size markers and the like, with consequent saving.
Many retailers In the accompanying drawing illustrating certain embodiments of the invention: p
Figure- 1 is a face View, slightly in perspective, of a manufacturers label attached to a portion of a garment;
Fig, 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view like Fig. 1, but showing a customers label secured over the manufacturers label;
Fig. 4 is a view like Fig. 1, showing a modification;
of different form than that shown in Fig. 1; and Fig. 6 is a view like Fig. 5 with a customers label superimposed on the manufacturers label.
In Figs, 1-4 a label element of the invention is designated vby reference numeral 2,'and a portion of the garment is designated Iby reference nu` meral 3. The label element may be made in ribbon or tape form of textile fabric and be supplied in rolls in the customary manner. Assuming the label elements to be thus made, the selvage edges are 4, 4 and the raw edges are 5, 5.
The main indicia section 6 of the manufacturers label 2 is shown attached to the garment by stitching on the lines 1, 1b, 1 and 1d. A narrow portion 8 carrying one of the raw edges is turned under and caught by the stitching 1 in customary manner.
The part 9 of the label comprisfa `second indicia section and is for the display of descriptive matter, represented in the drawing by the size mark I I. For convenience and without limitation on the matter displayed, the section 9 may be termed a marker section. Adjoining and continuous with the section 9 there is an extension comprising a blank section I2, which carries the other raw edge and which is turned under the' part 9. It will be observed that the parts 9 and I2 are broad and thatv the part I 2 is caught by the. stitching'lb, 1, 1d, which can be concealed by a later-applied customers label which does not cover the section 9, In other words, the stitching does not extend, or materially extend, into the marker section, the marker section being substantially outside the stitched area The parts/ 9 and I2 form a loop I4, on the face of which is theA size mark or other incidental descriptive matter.
Fig. 3 shows a customers label I5, which has been stitched or otherwise secured over the label 2, covering all'the main part of the latter label, and covering also the stitching 1B, 1b, 1, 1d, but leaving exposed the free loop I4 and its exhibited matter.
After the customers label is attached to the Fig. 5 is a face view of a label of the invention garment, the exten-ding loop. Hl does notlsuggestA the presence. of an. underlying label', but" rather gives thelnished effect ofa markex'flooprorfthe.
