; The current invention concerns certain better
shapes in various manners, Figure 9 ‘presenting

cards, such as may be combined together in
various relations to provide different designs or

the following procedure is carried ‘out.

Ordinarily, these cards are made of different

shapes and colors so as toprovide a set permit

To enable those acquainted with this art to
understand the invention more fully, the method
of making two shapes of such cardshas been
illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming
a part of this speci?cation and to which refer
ence should be had in connection with the fol
lowing detailed description,‘ and, in this drawing, ‘
for simplicity, like reference numerals have been
used to designate the same parts of the device
used for the practice of the new process.

procedure;

Each of these adhesive-coated districts is in
transverse register with the adjacent card 21
de?ned by the four apertures and corresponding
edge of the ribbon or strip, such card constituting
the upper or front card of the duplex-card un
dergoing production, the adhesive-coated area
being less in size than such part 21.

Further along in its travel, approximately one
half of the width of the slotted, adhesive-coated,
pasteboard-ribbon encounters an appropriately
bent portion 28 of a sheet-metal guide or folder
which turns over such longitudinal part of the
sheet sidewise along one margin ofits length

the transverse lines 3l—3l through the middle
of the length of each link 2|, these links having

It is to be noted that in this double card of
