Postal Card.
Na. 322,041. Patnted Dec. 19, 1871.
'Imaniar PATENT OFFICE.
WASHDTGTON I. LUDLOW, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
lMPROVEMENT IN POSTAL-CARDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 122,041, dated December 19, 1871.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, WASHINGTON I. LUDLOW, of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Postal-Cards 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same.
My invention consists of a postal-card possessing superior advantages to all now in use, composed of a single piece of paper, bristol-board, or their equivalent, folded at or near its center, the ends or sides of which may be guinmed as may bedesired upon the iii`ii`ef""sTideF-- 4 Figure 1 is a perspective View of niy improved postal-card partly open. Fig. 2 is a view showing the same entirely open.
In carrying out my invention I use a piece of paper, bristol-board, or their equivalent, folded at or near the center so as to bring the edges closely together.
The peculiar advantages of this postal-card are such that messages or other matter may be written on the inner side and the card Sealed and addressed to any desired place, thus saving the trouble of procuring or obtaining the common envelope, and at the same time securin g the same privacy of the sealed envelope, which is not the case in the ordinary postal-card, consistiug of a single card with the stamp and writing upon either side. If desired, the name of any person, firm, or corporation may be engraved or printed upon the opposite side of the card from the stamp and address, thus securing a means of advertisement 5 or, in case of the card being miscarried or not called for, it may be returned to the party sending it. In connection with this there may be placed upon any portion of the card a monogram of any desired configuration ot' the party sending it, or the monograui may be used with or without the advertisement, and the United States postage-stamp may be printed upon the card the same as is usual in the common envelope or \vrapper now in use.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as. new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. Apostal-card folded at or near its center, with the edges gumined, substantially as and for the purpose herein described.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a postal card folded at or near its center and gummed upon its inside edge, the ends Of-the said card being left open, as herein set forth.
W. I. LUDLOW.
