RESTRICTIONS ON
WINDOW ENVELOPES
Postmaster General BurlesOn Passes
Strict Rules ReEarding Use of
Window Envelopes.

Because the window envelopes, those
having a transparent panel in front,
through which the address upon the
inclOsure is disclosed, have seriously
burdened and embarrassed the postal
service. postmaster general A 5. Bur-
Lesson has issued new rules and regu-
latiOns governing the use of the win
dow envelope
Hereafter the window envelopes viii
be subjected to rigid tests before they
are sent through the mails
The best results will be had If the
stationery used in the envelopes or at
least the exposed part, where the ad-
dress is written, is white. The mailing
address should be clear and strongly
ink or typewriter so as there Will
be a strong contrast between the color
of the Enclosure and the address.
Nothing should appear on the COM
municatiOn bearing the mailing ad-
dress which viii show through the
window and tend to cause confusion or
interfere in the reading OF the mail
ing address
Section 492, postal laws and regula-
tions, was amended by the following
paragraphs:
&c. SocalIed window envelopes hay
ing a transparent front parallel with
the length of the envelope, through
which the address upon the inclosure
IS disclosed, are mailable under the
following conditions:
"(a) To allow space for pOstmark4
ing the window shall not occupy any
space within l 3-S inches from the top
nor within SIS of an inch from the bot,
tom or ends OF the envelopes. and it,
shall not be more than 3 10 inches in
length nor more than 1 1-2 in depth
(b) Windows shall not be cOlored
and shall be treated so as to be trans
parent as possible.
"(c) A window envelope shall bear
the return card of. the sender
"(d) Changes of address should not
be made on the window, but on the
Opaque part of the envelope.
"(e) Window envelopes which do not
conform to the foregoing requirements
shall, when deposited in the mails. be
returned to the sender, If known; other
wise they shall be sent to the fourth
