Fisher's Patent Label Manufactury, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Fisher's Patent Label Manufactury, 1857. We have to notice the invention of a new patent label, which, from its being composed of cloth, is less liable to tear than any of those at present in use. Every one has been inconvenienced, at some period of his life, by the want of a neat, durable card of direction, easily fastened on the traveller's trunk or Christmas hamper. Mr. Fisher, of West-street, Boston...has removed the difficulty. His labels supply all the deficiencies hitherto existing; and they have the additional advantage over most of those at present in use, that they are so printed as to require but little additional direction to make them useful'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
