I SAMUEL JONES of High Street, Chippenham in the County of Wilts, Manufac-
turer 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 following
statement:-
The object of this invention is to produce a wrapper or envelope for a letter to be
dispatched through the post, parts of said wrapper or envelope being intended for the
display of advertisements. The said wrapper or envelope is made of any convenient
size or shape and if required provided with an inside pocket like the pocket of an
ordinary envelope, and also with a gummod flap or flaps at the extremities so that the
contents may be inserted in the pocket and the wrapper folded over and about the said
pocket and secured by the flap or flaps.
A part of the said wrapper or envelope may be left blank for writing upon, or a
piece of note or other paper may be gummed or otherwise attached to the said
wrapper so as to form a combined envelope and writing paper.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which similar letters indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figures 1 to 7 show different shapes in which my invention may be constructed.
Figures 8 and 9 show my invention with writing paper attached.
The pocket A may be placed in any convenient part of the wrapper, and may
if desired be provided with a flap B of any convenient shape and gummed or
otherwise.
The wrapper or envelope may be made of any suitable size, and folded to any
convenient shape, and may consist of any number of folds, and the advertisements
printed on any convenient part or parts thereof.
The wrapper or envelope is also provided with a gummed flap or flaps C. C. at the
top, bottom or sides.
Referring to Figures 1 and 3 the note or other article to be dispatched is placed in
the pocket A, and the wrapper or envelope, folded along the lines a, a and b b and

page_text: placed over the fly-leaf D which is intended for the reception of advertisements, the
flap or flaps C are gummed on their upper side, and are now folded along the
lines b c and c c, and securely fastened together.
Figures 2 and 4 show different shapes of my invention.
Figure 5 is a modification of Figure 4, cut along the line b, b, with a fly leaf J K
gummed on the underside to the part F of the envelope or wrapper and with different
shaped flaps.
Figures 6 and 7 are modifications of Figures 1 to 4, but made with long side flaps ;
the envelope or wrapper is first folded along the lines c d and then along the lines a a
bb and c c.
Figures 8 and 9 show Figures 6 and 7 with writing paper E gummed or otherwise
fastened to the wrapper.
The writing paper is folded over together with the envelope or wrapper as in
Figures 6 and 7.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
First: An envelope constructed with or without a pocket A and flaps CC and
fly-leaf D, substantially as described with reference to Figures 1 and 3.
Second: An envelope constructed with or without a pocket A and flaps C C
substantially as described with reference to Figures 2. 4. 5. 6 & 7.
Third: An envelope with flaps C C and a sheet or sheets of writing paper E
combined, substantially as described with reference to Figures 8 and 9.
