- the package embodying my invention is especially adapted to receive lower class matter (e. g., merchandise) and higher class matter (e. g., a letter enclosed in a sealed envelope) in such manner that, if the postage required to pay for each class of mailing matter is separately affixed thereto, the postal authorities will accept the same as containing adequate postage.
- the invention is especially adapted for use as an advertising medium.
- the package may contain medical supplies and a personal letter to each physician to whom the package is mailed.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pasteboard box embodying my invention, the box being closed and ready, after having postage applied, for mailing.

- a small part of the area of the box is cut away to form a rectangular opening it having tabs i which may be bent down to provide a receptacle for a small box (not shown) having horizontal dimensions adapted to fit the opening h.
- This envelope :1 may be held in place by means of tabs k: on the inside cover 1.
- the space enclosed by the box body a and inside cover (with the exception of the space below opening h) is intended for the accommodation of any small articles of merchandise, while the space aligning with opening it is intended to accommodate other small articles of merchandise, for example, a small box containing samples of the merchandise in the remainder of the box space.
