Abstract

Abstract A letter sheet suitable for use as combined picture postcard, advertising form, reservation form, stationary and envelope. The letter sheet constitutes an envelope portion and a message portion separated by a narrow third portion. The envelope portion and the message portion are foldable into three segments along a pair of coextensive fold lines. The narrow third portion connects the said envelope portion and message portion in the area between said pair of coextensive fold lines and may be rectangular or trapazoidal. A flap is connected to the center segment of one of the envelope portions opposite the narrow third portion. Each of the outer of the segments of the envelope portion has an adhesive edge. The adhesive edge of one of said outer segments of the envelope is separated from said outer segment by a perforated tear strip. The outer segment has undercut edges making the outer third adaptable for being tucked under the opposite outer segment. The message portion is connected to said narrow third portion by a perforated line.
