PATENT POSTAL WRAPPERS.

It Doe* Away with* the Trouble Ciually Encountered in Opening Papera, The patent postal wrapper shown below is designed to do away with the trouble usually experienced in opening a tightly rolled parcel. It is an English idea, and is described as follows: Running from end to end of the wrapper are two series of perforations, half an inch or so apartj and inclining toward each other, in the manner shown in our illustration, while at the left-hand side the outer two perforations come right up to the edge, and provide a small tab or

slip that can easily he grasped between the thumb and Unger, ,To open the wrapper, it is held in the manner shown and the tab firmly pulled, when at once a thin slip Is torn out of the wrapper throughout its length, the Strip being strictly limited to the width of the perforations, and thus preventing any damage either to the papers within or to any advertisements that may, as is sometimes the case, be printed inside the wrapper.
