A further object of the invention is the provision of an envelope for forwarding matter through the mails as third class which is capable of being folded and sealed for returning said envelope as first class matter.
Other objects and (advantages of the in vention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming; a part of this specification and in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the same,
Figure 1 is a view in perspective disclosing the rear of the envelope provided with the forwarding address.
Figure 2 is a view in perspective of the and sealed and disclosing the return address with the forwarding address concealed between the folded portions of the envelope.
Figure 3 is a section of the folded envelope taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a body formed of a single sheet of paper which is folded widthwise to form two overlapping members sealed by mucilage or some other form of cement.
The lower end of the body member 1 is provided with a flap 4c forming an extension on the front wall 5 folded over the connecting portions 2 and 3 adjacent their lower end and cemented to the same for closing the bottom of the envelope.
The front wall is provided with a second flap 6 formed integral with the front wall 5 of the envelope which is adapted to be in serted between the front wall and the rear wall formed by the two members 2 and 3 for temporarily closing the one end of the envelope when said envelope is used as third class matter as shown in Figure 1.
The envelope just described may be formed in suitable manner providing that it has a front and rear wall with the bottom closed and a loose flap for closing the open end of the envelope.
Across the rear wall of the envelope transversely and midway of its ends is printed a line with the indicia Fold on this line and This way to use as return envelope thereon. The name, street, city and State is also inscribed in the lower right hand corner of the rear wall of the envelope and designates the party to whom the envelope is sent and directional information whereby the party may be reached. In the upper left hand corner is printed the name and address of the sender. This face or wall of the envelope is only employed when the envelope has been fowarded by the original sender.
As shown in Figure 2 the right half of the front wall of the envelope is provided with indicia designating the name of the party returning the envelope with the name and address of the original sender and to whom the envelope is being returned.
