page_text: I, WOLFF BEER MANUSSOHN, of 18, Rue Rossini, Paris, France, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to advertising letter-sheets and in order that the in-
vention may be easily understood I have represented in the accompanying draw-
ing, by way of example, a letter-sheet according thereto.
An advertizing letter-sheet according to this invention is double-i.e., it pre-
sents four pages, one of the two external ones of which is intended for the corre-
spondence and the other to receive the address, whilst the two internal pages
contain matter to be made public.
In the drawing a represents the page intended for the correspondence. It
is, as I have said, one of the two external pages of the double sheet, whose other
external page 6 is intended to receive the address. When it is to be dispatched,
the double sheet is folded nearly to the size of an ordinary letter or post-card-
for example, in accordance with the folds indicated by the dotted lines c, d, e, f,
in the drawing-and so that when the sheet has been folded with the page a on
the interior to insure the secrecy of the correspondence, the middle or central
part g of the page b is on the exterior of the closed and folded sheet.
This central part g is stamped at h with a postage stamp of the desired value
and is intended to receive the address of the person to whom the letter is to go
and any other indications for service or of origin that may be desired.
The middle pages i and are intended for publicity and carry advertisements,
various notices, etc.
This publicity, for which, of course, payment will be made, will partly pay for
the paper, the printing, and the stamping, and will enable letter-sheets stamped
with a 1d. stamp, for example, to be delivered to the user at a price (1d. for.
example) less than the value of the stamp itself.
Sheets according to this invention, may be made of all sizes, qualities, or
colours desired and various modes of folding may be adopted, that represented
in the accompanying drawing being indicated only by way of example. Also,
instead of reserving the two internal pages for matter to be made public, only
part of these two pages, or one of them only, might be used for such matter,
so that the remaining part or page might be likewise used for correspondence.
The closure of the folded sheet may be insured by means of a wafer, a gummed
seal, a wax seal, etc. There may, however, be provided on the edge of the sheet,
in a suitable place, as indicated at k in the drawing, a small gummed flap, which,
when the folded sheet have been closed, will seal it, and which, when it be
desired to open the folded sheet, can be torn-for example, along a line of per-
forations, such as that indicated at 1.

page_text: I, WOLFF BEER MANUSSON, of 18, Rue Rossini, Paris, France, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to advertising letter-sheets and in order that the in-
vention may be easily understood I have represented in the accompanying draw-
ing, by way of example, a letter-sheet according thereto.
An advertising letter-sheet according to this invention is double-i.e., it pre-
sents four pages, one of the two external ones of which is intended for tlie corre-
spondence and the other to receive the address, whilst the two internal pages
contain matter to be made public.
In the drawing annexed to my Provisional Specification, a represents the page
intended for the correspondence. It is, as I have said, one of the two external
pages of the double sheet, whose other external page b is intended to receive the
address. When it is to be dispatched, the double sheet is folded nearly to the
size of an ordinary letter or post-card-for example, in accordance with the folds
indicated by the dotted lines e, d, e, f in the drawing-and so that when the
sheet has been folded with the page a on the interior to insure the secrecy of
the correspondence, the middle or central part g of the page 6 is on the exterior
of the closed and folded sheet.
This central part g is stamped at h with a postage stamp of the desired value
and is intended to receive the address of the person to whom the letter is to go
and any other indications for service or of origin that may be desired.
The middle pages i and jare intended for publicity and carry advertisements,
various notices, etc.
This publicity, for which, of course, payment will be made, will partly pay for
the paper, the printing, and the stamping, and will enable letter-sheets stamped
with a penny stamp, for example, to be delivered to the user at a price (one half-
penny for example) less than the value of the stamp itself.
Sheets according to this invention, may be made of all sizes, qualities, or
colours desired and various modes of folding may be adopted, that represented
in the accompanying drawing being indicated only by way of example. Also,
instead of reserving the two internal pages for matter to be made public, only
part of these two pages, or one of them only, might be used for such matter,
so that the remaining part or page might be likewise used for correspondence.
The closure of the folded sheet may be insured by means of a wafer, a gummed
seal, a wax seal, etc. There may, however, be provided on the edge of the sheet,
in a suitable place, as indicated at & in the drawing, a small gummed flap, which,
when the folded sheet has been closed, will seal it, and which, when it be de-
sired to open the folded sheet, can be torn, for example, along a line of perfora-
tions, such as that indicated at 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A double letter sheet, the outer face of the two pages of which are destined
for correspondence and for the address and postage stamp respectively, the inner
faces of said two pages being destined for advertising matter or partly for such
matter and for correspondence, said double sheet adapted to be folded for sealing

page_text: as described, so that the correspondence will be wholly concealed, substantially
as and for the purpose set forth.
2. A double letter sheet, the outer face of the two pages of which are destined
for correspondence and for the address and postage stamp respectively, the inner
faces of said two pages being destined for advertising matter or partly for such
matter and for correspondence, a portion of one edge of the address page being
recessed to form a sealing flap provided with a line of perforations I, said
double sheet adapted to be folded for sealing as described so that the corre-
spondence will be wholly concealed, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
3. A double letter sheet consisting of a folded sheet of paper, of substantially
demi folio size, the outer faces of the pages of which are destined for correspon-
dence and for the address and postage respectively, the inner faces of said pages
being destined for advertising matter or for such matter and for correspondence,
the address page having at one of its edges a sealing flap k, and said double sheet
adapted to be folded for sealing as described so that the correspondence will be
wholly concealed, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
