bills, invoices, etc.

'Ihe invention will be4 described ineen? nection with the accompanying drawingfin" which, 'Figure l is a perspectivel viewv of a. let-lV ter file embodying the invention; ,2,

on a larger scale than the other views; Fig.

'5 is a perspective view'.showing a slightl dierent form of the invention and'di ferent means of attaching lettersorpapers.- Referring tothe-drawing, A indicates* a' ,folder or coverA for a letterle'comprising two leaves l0, 11. This cover maybeef anyl suitable material such as stout paper or tag'- board. To the leaf 10 a sheetl?. of similar u material is connected in suchK away as. t0

leave one or more of its margins free. The

sheets 10' and l2 may be connected by ad hesive material, as indicated bythe dotted lines 13 or they may be connected by lstaplesy or other suitable means. The adhesive connesting means lspreferable.4 When thus In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown-thefiling device Without-any papers attached thereto.

In'Figs. 3 and4 I have shown avseries of papers l5 andin Fig. 4 I have shown'a series of papers 15 andra'connecting clip 16'.

After the p pers accumulate so that theyz can not beconveniently attached by means of ordinary wire cli s, the bundle of papers may be secured to t e sheet l2 by bandsjl,"

such as .ordinary rubber bands,"as shown in Fig. 5. In Fig. 5I have shown two transverse lines of ladhesive material 13, the longitudinal lines being omitted. This ispreferable in some cases.
