Abstract
A demand feed and moistening apparatus is adapted to advance successive gummed labels from a stack to a ready position at a label dispensing station from which each label may be readily manually withdrawn and thereby moistened. Thereafter the next label in said stack is automatically advanced to said ready position and remains in this position until it also is manually removed. The use of such a label dispensing and moistening arrangement greatly facilitates the manual grasping of successive moistened labels and the application thereof to items that are to labeled.
