These three cards are held together by spring clips 14 or other suitable elements and are relatively adjustable as will be here- Should the first day of the month fall on a Thursday the card 12 hearing the numbers of the days of the month is moved upwardly on the other card 10 which snugly fits in the envelop. When the name Thursday in one of the horizontal spaces on the other card appears adjacent the upper edge of the card 12 bearing the numbers of the days of the month the upward movement is stopped.

The L-shaped card 13 is shifted vertically on the face of the card 12 if the month contains less than thirty-one days. In the drawtaining twenty-eight days, therefore the L- shaped card 13 is used to cover the numbers twenty-nine, thirty and thirty-one. hen the card is inserted in the envelop the first of the month will appear opposite the day Thursday in the column adjacent the side of the large opening 2 as shown in the draw- 1I10S.

The spaces above and below the large opening 2 on the face of the envelop may be utilized for any suitable advertising matter such as stores on calendars distributed advertising.

From the foregoing description of the construction and operation of my improved calendar, the manner of using the same and the operation thereof will be readily understood, and it will be seen that I have provided a simple and efiicient device of this character for carrying out the objects of the invention. v

I claim as my invention:
