An assembly of marker tabs comprising a folder simulating a conventional match book cover, said folder having a strip of cardboard folded to provide a back portion, a short front flap portion, and a front closure flap member, a plurality of sheets of flexible material of a width approximating the width of the folder and with the lower ends thereof disposed between the back portion and the short front flap portion of said folder, means for securing said back portion, said short front flap portion, and the lower ends of said sheets together, and a plurality of elongated marker tabs temporarily secured to said sheets, each such marker tab comprising an elongated strip having pressure sensitive adhesive over a portion of the lower surface of said strip, said strip being free of adhesive at the opposite end portion thereof to provide an end portion free of adhesive, said marker tabs being disposed on said sheets with their pressure sensitive coating in engagement with the front surfaces of said sheets and with their nonadhesive end portions projecting beyond the upper edges of said sheets so that any one of said nonadhesive end portions can be readily grasped to remove the associated tab from said sheet and said folder.
