Illegible occupation on census.

I can read the entry but what labels would he write?  HAs anyone seen this as an occupation before?

The other occupations in the family are labourers and glovers.

Thanks in advance,
Pam

Heck! It's me again. Yes I remember Ticket Writers - they were the people who wrote up pricing placards and Sale signs in departmental stores or shops. The term was widely recognised and I see one person wrote Ticket Writer and another wrote the word Label - probably the enumerator to clarify matters.
These people worked unbelievably fast and accurately and their printing hardly varied.

"TICKET WRITER - person (usually female) who hand wrote or painted the price tickets on goods displayed for sale and painted the signs that go up to make a window display "

Thanks guys.

He's the first one that wasn't a labourer or glover in my palmer tree!

Thanks,
