devices 16 by means of which the case may e secured 1n positlon on a bee-hive suitable support.

The holder is slid'ably mounted between the. overhanging flanges 6 of the casing and n mately the length o ffthe flanges 6, there being an angle plate 11'se across the case at one of the terminal ears 8 for limiting the longitudinal movement of said holder. The holder is also'pre'ferably formed of a metal the opposite longitudina which are bent upwardly a form parallel flanges 12 ad the flanges 6 011 the casing, the flanges 12 are forme edges of mi inwardly to the metal after d being bent upon aced relation to the ally beneath and in'sp toform auxlliary base 13 of the holder flanges or supports 14.

Slidably mounted between the flanges 12 is adisplay card 15 upon which may-- be. printed or'otherwise represented a number 0 her of the hive, there being a stri of mica, glass or other trans arent material 16 interposed between the anges 12 and the card 15 or protecting the latter against the action of the elements.

The flanges 1.2 a re depressions 18 adapted downwardly inclined spring casethereby to assist in pretal separation of the parts. Attention is herec alled to the fact that the flanges- 6- frictionally engage the flanges 12 at the depressions 18 so as to effectually prevent the :holder from dropping out of the transportatl the be to receive the flanges 6 of the My beyond the flanges terminal finger piece ich the holder v provided.

I ably the base last the holder and the bottom of the casing 5 so that leaves are eflectually housed and protected, the card being protected by the transparent strip 16, in the manner before described. it will also he noted that the lower edges of the fiangeslfz at the grooves 01;

depressions 18 yieldahly engage the titansparentstrip 16 so as to retain the card in position on the holder, the longitudinal movement of. the card and transparent. strip being limited by engagement with the finger piece 19 and stop 1;

T he tags or markers may he made in different sizes and shapes and While articulerly designed for attachment to a ee-hine maybe used with equally good results as a, shipping tag for boxes, crates and similar Having thus described the invention what 1. A tag including a casing, a holder slidahly mounted in the casing and adapted to receive a display card on one side thereof, and means disposed on the opposite side of the holder for supporting a memorandum slip. p

2. A tag including a casing, a holder slidmountcd in the casing and provided on one side thereof with means for engages ment with a display card, means disposed on the opposite side of the holder for supporting a memorandum slip, and :1V transparent plate covering the display card, said holder and casing being provided wlth interengaging parts.-

3. A 'tagincluding a casing having op positely disposed attaching cars and proguide flanges, a holder slidahly n'iounted between the flanges oi the casing and provided on one side thereof with means for engagement with a display card, and means-disposed on the opposite side of the holder for-supporting ,a memorainlum slip! 4. A tag including a casing having parallel guide flanges and provided with oppositely disposed attaching cars, a holder slid aoly mz'iunted between the fian es and provided on one side thereof wit means for enga enient with a display card, means dispoazd on the opposite side of the holder for supporting a memorandum slip, and a stop extending transversely of, the casing for limiting the longitudinal movement of the holder.

Ell l l l l l i l i l l l l l l l l l i l i in the casing and provided with corresponding flanges having depressions formed therein for the reception ofthe flanges on the casing, means carried by the holder for supporting a memorandum slip, a display card supported on the holder, and a transparent strip-interposed between the i'lan holder and the display card, and held in po- "es on the sition on the display-card by engagement I with the depressed portions of 6. A tag including a casing sitely disposer guide flanges, a holder slidaloly mounted in the casing and rovided with corresponding guide flanges t e ed es of which holder to form auxiliary flanges adapted to support a memorandum slip, a display card carried by the holder, and a transparent plate covering the display card. 7. A tag including a casing having lon itudinally disposed guide flanges, a. hol er the flanges formed of a single piece ot metal, the opposite longitudinal edges of. which are bent, laterally to produce flanges adapted'to en-' gage the flanges on the casing, the metal at the flanges on the holder being extended inwardly in spaced relation to the base of the holder to .i'orm an intermediate pocket for the reception of a memorandum slip, a display card carried by the holder, anda trans parent plate intrrposed between the flanges on. the holder and said display card.

8. A. tag including a casing having lon 'itudinally disposed guide flanges. 11 hol er slidahly mounted beta-en aid llanges and. formed of a single 3- :e metahhent to produce longitudinal flanges for engagement with the flanges on theorising, one end of the metal forming the holder being extended longitudinally beyond the adjacent flanges to produce a linger piece, and a stop extending transversely across the casing for limiting the longitudinal movement of the holder in one {,lll(!
