during which thework -may also be ornamented' f by the perforating or cutting outoyfa design `theregin. `l'referablylithe marking andV perforating or ing will be performedr ina single machine p- 1 ion, andthe marking "may take the form of printing with inkjpr theapplication of a heated lement,or the like.` j
l "Specifically this invention relates to improvements in diesof thegeneraltype disclosedin the fpatent to Benjamin`W.`Freeman, No; 2,244,613,
