In\a simple form' this sheet 4 has two cuts 5 or mounts of different sizes. Photograph mounts are made and stocked in a very great varietyof sizes and frequently individual customers or photographers demand or use odd sizes; In transmitting photographs, particularly individual ictures, by mail, it is, of course desirable t at they shall fit within the container and not slip around. It is necessary therefore, either. to wrap up the photographs individually therebetween tabs 7. A card 5 of smaller dimensions than the sheet 4 is placed fl'at upon the card and the portions of the tabs extending beyond it are bent back over the card. In Fig. 2 the card and thebent over 70 portions of the tab are indicated in dotted ers for the various sizes and even then to lines.

In Fig. 4 is shown a form of filler sheet 10 having single tabs 11 formed at its ends, twotabs 12 formed'on each'side and two tabs 13 formed from its central part, thus permitting the placing of two mounts 5, which may be of different sizes, onthe same side of the sheet.

Another embodiment is shown in Fig. 5,
