Y Y I pecially relates to the features'pointed out Fig. 6 is a reduced size'l front elevation ofv in the annexed claims. a padattached to a complete backing.;

y to file thej detached sheets because of any.

By reason of this unique provision my pads are available at any time and the large losses incurred through printing pads for the fixed months and days of each month of a fixed year is entirely avoided. If the user cares Vto mark the year of adoption in pencil, or

otherwise, on each sheet, and should he ca re memorandum data noted in the space l5 he may do so, but his voluntary procedure doesV not limit the relationY ofl all thesucceedingsheets of the pad. l

In Fig. 2 is shown fragments of a completed pad comprising at 8 the first sheet of the second month, at 9'the first sheet of the third month and at l() the first sheet of the fourth month. Supposingthepointerisarbitrarily set at September instead of Januaryv as shown,V a dotted line to theleft will show y that it .will Ybe in position for the October groupQand also yfor the following month of November, thersucceeding month of December,.the,neXt month January, etc., etc'. v

In lorder that the corresponding days of the weekof a givenmonth may be indicated,

a pointer V13 positioned along the bottom edge' of the backing 6 is placed opposite the name of the first day of the week corresponding tothe first day of the selected month indicated bythe pointer on the left hand edge l of the backing l6.

l When all the` sheets l, 2, 3, etc. vof a given month have been detached, the pointer opposite the days of the week 4 will be shifted to the day of the weekcorresponding to the first week dayv of the first numbered day of the next Inonth,where. it will remain until all the sheets of that month have been deythe first of the'nextmonth occurs.

tached when it will be again shifted to cor-y respond tothe first day of the week on which A If all of the'months of a year had 'eir- Vac'tly the same number of days then the week day pointer, after having been positioned to the day ofthe week corresponding to the first day of a starting month, wouldnot need to be changed over the entire year.

The separate sheets of each monthly group bear the numerals from l to 31 Vinclusive and are of course repeated from month to month.

. I do not limit myself to the use of twelve monthly groups secured to a backing as it is obvious that asingle month can be used on Vthe backing vor the monthly groups covering three months, six months or any other combination. However, it is apparent that .the greatest benefit will accrue to the vproducer and user Vif more. monthly groupsKV than a single month are assembled on a singlesupport. An opening 16 at the top of the 'support serves to suspend the calendar on a wall. It is obvious that my calendar will effect large economies in production and entirely eliminate the Waste now incurred bythe producer and the user, thus attaining avresult that has hitherto been impossible, on accountof which this invention is claimed in its n ceeding monthly groups advancing month by month all the indicia of all the groups bearing the same spaced apart relation to each other, a suitable support,means for holding the sheets assembledon vthe support, anf'adjustable indicator slidable on the support ad.- jacent the monthly' indicia, an imprint of the seven days of a weekuadjacent the edge of. each sheet of a given month imprinted opposite each other and kadvancing day by dayV fromv sheet to sheet, and an indicator movable on-the support adjacent the imprinted days of theweek.
