ENVELOPES ARE
VERY SCARCE
Distributors Have Inadequate Sup
plies and Find Themselves Unable
to Fill Orders Piled Up.

BOSTON, March 29-Serious shortage
of envelopes Of the ordinary letter size,
one-fourth of their production being from
mills, principally from the
western part of the state, is reported by
wholesale paper merchants of the city
That merchants of this city have i'm
mense orders that they cannot fill, with
more being received daily. Conditions are
reported especially acute. Retail stocks
are said to be practically exhausted The
shortage is understood to extend to all
sizes Desk drawers of envelope distrib-
uters are filled with stocks of orders for
both the white and manila types To it,
lustrate conditions, one leading merchant
showed a card that usually contains g
STYLES kept in stock OF these, only one
was available. This is said to be a typ
ical case.
Cause of conditions is said to be that
mills have no stocks from which to fl
wholesale orders Local dealers say the
mills have hardly box of manila stock
and that white IS nearly as scarce. Raw
product is not available, which, coupled
with enormous demand and shortage o
paper, makes it SO envelope manufac
turers are unable to get material.
