JACOB L. PRICE, OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS.
STATIONERY FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECORDING BANK COLLECTIONS.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 2, 1910.
Application filed May 7, 1909. Serial No. 494,695.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAcoB L. PRICE, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Fort Worth, in the county of Tarrant and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Stationery for
Transmitting and Recording Bank Collec-
tions, of which the following is a specifica-
tion.
10 This invention relates to stationery for
keeping transit accounts or collection ac-
counts, and the object is to provide station-
ery for making accurate records of items for
collection, such as are deposited with banks
15 for collection, and by which much time may
be saved and much expense avoided.
Another object is to provide stationery
which is adapted for use on typewriters
which are provided with tabulating attach-
20 ments and adding devices and which can
also be used equally as well as any other
stationery with pen and ink or pencil.
Other objects and advantages will be fully
explained in the following description and
25 the invention will be more particularly
pointed out in the claim.
Reference is had to the accompanying
drawings which form a part of this appli-
cation.
30 Figure 1 is a face view of a piece of sta-
tionery folded in position for making en-
tries of items to be transmitted for collection,
the letter of advice being indicated by dotted
lines. Fig. 2 is a face view of a detached
35 letter of advice, drawn on an enlarged scale.
Fig. 3 represents the piece of stationery,
shown in Fig. 1, on a reduced scale, unfold-
ed, the letters of advice being indicated by
dotted outline. Fig. 4 illustrates a letter
40 of advice inclosed in an envelop which has
a portion of the back transparent to expose
the address to view.
Similar characters of reference are used
to indicate the same parts throughout the
45 several views.
The forms herein shown include a sheet of
paper consisting of a body portion 1 which
comprises all the sheet to left of the dotted
line 2 in Fig. 3, and a number of detachable
50 parts 3. The parts 3 may be detached sep-
arately or all together or any number may
be detached. Each part 3 constitutes a com-
plete letter of advice, giving the name and
address of the party to whom items of col-
55 lection are sent, the payee of each item, and
the amount of each item. The letter 3 hasa space for entering the address which space
is included between the double horizontal
lines 4. The letters 3 are numbered con-
secutively. Each letter 3 has a space 5 for 60
names of payees and a space 6, for listing
the amount of the items to be collected.
The body 1, for each letter 3, has also a
payee column under the word "On " and a
column under the word "Amount " for list- 65
ing the items. Attention is called to the
fact that the several letters of a sheet are in
line with each other and that the " payee "
and " amount " columns of one letter are
respectively in line with these columns on 70
the other letters. The object of this ar-
rangement is that if there are more items to
be listed than can be listed on one letter, the
columns of items can be continued directly on
the next letter below and on as many letters 75
as may be necessary to complete the listing
of items to be sent to one party for collec-
tion. In order to do this it will be neces-
sary to list items across the addressing space.
For this reason the column lines 7 are made 80
light enough across the addressing space so
that the column lines 7 will not interfere
with entering addresses in the addressing
spaces.
The letters are to be folded once and are 95
to be folded so that the address will be ex-
posed when folded. The object is to avoid
writing the address a second time. This is
accomplished by using envelops which have
a transparent portion. In order to accom- 90
plish this the address must be written in a
particular space and the letter must be fold-
ed in a certain manner. In the addressing
space a guard line S for the typewritist is
placed so that the typewritist will know to 95
place the address entirely to the left of the
line 8. In order that the addressing space
or address shall be under the transparent
portion of the envelop the letter sheet must
always be folded uniformly and this is ac- 100
complished by placing short indicating lines
9 in the margins of the letters to indicate
the place of folding the sheet. When the
letter sheets are folded in this manner and
placed in the window envelop of ordinary 105
commercial size, the addresses can always be
seen, as illustrated in Fig. 4. The letter
sheets are thus provided with indicators for
the typewritists or other writers and also
provided with folding indicators. 110
Records of the items sent for collection
are preserved in the following manner: The966,359.
