Show New Envelopes. A new ht)lo of envelope Is such an Improvement on tho old that ono won-deis won-deis why tho Idea did not occur to n maiiuracturcr boorier. Tho new envelope en-velope is like any other, except that the flap Is not gummed. Instead, tho gum (s on the envelope's back, following follow-ing tho flail's edges In a V shaped strip. "You see," said tho stationer, "this now Idea does away with gum outing. When oti apply our tongue to this flap you don't lick up a lot of gum, to give you a bad tasto In your mouth for the nevt half hour, but you simply lick the plain white paper edge of tho flap, then press it down as usual, and it attaches Itself to tho dry gum and Is llrmly sealed. "It's the same Id' a as that of licking lick-ing tho corner of the envelope, thus cm aping a gum luncheon when you want to apply a postage stamp" |
