Pads in Envelopes.

'I notice that it is getting to be quite on the flap of business envelopes so they will catch the eye when a man opens his mail-that Is if he uses paper knife for this operation" said business man yes- terday. "I believe this practice on a sys- tematc scale is of comparatively recent origin. It is well known fact that a man will read what is printed on the outside of an envelope much more willingly than what is printed on the contents and for that reason, perhaps. the custom of print ing advertisements on the backs of en- velopes has been started
 "of course we have all seen hundreds of envelopes that were covered with print ing, both front and back but the new en- velope is strikingly plain with the ex- ception of a modest business address in the left hand corner, and a few words printed in script on the edge of the flap on the back. Seeing the advertisement in such a place the recipient of the envelope is sure that 1t must be something of more than usual importance. Perhaps in his haste the sender left out something and was forced to write 1t hastily on the back of the envelope. Reasoning thus a man Is easily led to read that such and such a brand of collars Is the best ever made, or that Smith's headache powders are about the finest in the land"
