.PATENTS @Prieta ,POST-OFFICE WAY-BILL ENVELOPE.
` Specification forniiiigtparf of Letters Patent No."3 5,539,1 dated June l0, 1862. v
To all wheat t maj/i concerne i Be it known that l, `llIiiRcus P. NORTON, of
'the city of Troy,county of Rensselaer, and `State of New York, have invented a new and useful `Post-Office Way-Bill Envelope; and vI dohereby declare that the following is a full, `c lear, andexact description of the construction` and objectlof thetsa'me, reference being .hereby had to the annexeddrawings, making a part of the same. u .V i Like letters represent and refer to like parts.
Figure 1 shows `one'side of the said way-bill, envelope, with thedifferent parts thereof,`
hereinafter described.` Fig. 2 shows the front srdeof saidway-bill envelope,` with the waybill 1n blank thereonprinted, and hereinafter described.
l The nature of my invention consists in constructing a postotlice'way-bill envelope with an opening atfone end only lo receive therein letters for transportation, as hereinafter def- `scribed and set forth; also, with way-bill on the outside of said envelope and combined therewith by being printed thereon or` other-` wise, for the purposes `hereinafterdescribed and set forth.` i
I-Ifitherto theway-bill has been on a separate pieceof paper used for that purpose only, which, when made up for use, has been and is" now put with the letters for transportation,
and with them inclosed by sheet wrapping`J paper in a bundle or package, which package Vis'then addressed tothe post-oflicegof its destination. i This plan requires a large quantity of paper, andin `mostinstances a 'quantity of twine for the purposeof seeuringfsuch pack` age. The way-bills are mow -required ou a separate piece of paper, and the paper required to wrap up each bundle of letters with way-bill is also aseparate sheet, and requires t `a large amountof paper," i, The way-bill thus `used `is often `'omitted through accident or mistake, which causes aidisarrangement among "the mails.
`Bythis way-bill envelopea large `amount of w f paper is savedQ-to wit, Aall the paper now required for separate way-bills andiabout onethird of that `required forwrapping purposes. `This way-bill envelope requires no twine, `thereby `saving the expense. for ,the same. Mails can bemadeiup more accurately, with more rapidity, with less amount of labor, and
are more safely'transmitted than Yby the present system. The way-bill envelope thus made and iilled up in the blank spaces, hereinafter Y described, is thus and thereby directed toits yproper place of destination, whereby extra writing is saved, while the package can remain open until within a few minutes of the departure of the mail,.thns`giying more time to business men toeoniplete their correspondence. Y
This waybill envelope is more convenient to postmasters than the present system.
Having thus set forth the main features and advantages gained in this improvement or invention, I will now describe the construction and manner of using the same, which is as follows, to wit:
` I take strong paper of suitable thickness atE, Fig. 1, which is also fastened thereto in like manner of the lap F, at the end of-said y envelope, One cnd of said way-bill envelope `is made open, so as to admit ,letters therein and into said envelope.` This end is closedwhenready for that purpose by the iiap A, Fig. 1, which iiap is made in shape and size lto meet any requirements thereof. It turns overl from the way-bill side of said envelope i upon the said back side, C, and is then and` thereto iirmly held by the piece or' strip, B, which ismade from cloth containing a strong adhesive substance.v This holds the package "of'letters of any size in a firm and safe, condition. On the side opposite to that of C, Fig. 1`, I construct the way-bill D, as seen at Fig. 2,. This way-bill contains 'all the matter required in making up any mail. a, same iigure, is the place to give the date of the letters mailed, and in said envelopeb is the place for the name of postmaster who makes up such mail. c is for the name of the-city orl town, d for the county, and e for the State to which the letters inside are directed, all of which are in blank, so as to meet any requirements. The number of letters, amount of postage, how and when paid, will/be written by such postmaster upon such way-bill in the proper column, as indicated at the head of the same. Any other kind of way-bill which will answer the same purpose may be used upon this way-bill envelope. In this condition, and with way-bill printed outside, and with the destination of such letters given in writing below, the said package of letters is transmitted in the mails. Letters containin g money, checks, drafts, 8:0., can be more safely transmitted in the mails, for the whole package of letters is sealed up by the way-bill envelope and cannot be broken open without being detected.
