why are these envelopes made blue
oil the insidc:' asked II man looking at
Il specimen which Il wholesale station
cr held in his hand.
For Il very simple reason was the
reply. One OF the most important re-
suits i'll tie making OF envelopes Is to
prevent Transparency. Many white pa
pers are so transparent that by careful
scrutiny the contents or nm envelope
made of such material may be deter
mined. For instance, let Ills put n sheet
of paper with writing on it into this
envelope. We will now seal II and hold
It to the light thus. There, you can not
only see the bank check. but YOU can
also read mary of the words on tho
sheet OF paper. This can be prevented
either by getting u thick and high
priced envelope which is not transpar-
ent or by taking q cheaper grade OF pa
per which is blue on one side. We sell
thousands of packages OF blue cnvel-
opes-thnt is. envelopes which are blue
Oh the outside-but people do not like
them on account Of their color. SO to
get over The difficulty and still maks
an envelope that VIII hide the contents
and not be higl, priced the manufac-
turer uses paper which is blue on one
side and white on the other. One fac
tory in this city turns out more than a
million Of such envelopes daily, and
their sale in large cities is enormous"
