Re: removing box labels from manuscript boxes



     We use the Associated Bag Co. packing slip envelopes as well.  If you
go to their website (www.associatedbag.com) and click on "Product Index."
Scroll down to "Envelopes - Packing List - Front Loading."  You can
download the catalog page that lists all the different sizes of front
loading envelopes.  We use the following:

2-3/4 x 4-1/2  Item # 45-3-40

Hope this helps.

Tom Mooney

PS: I should not that it was Karen and the other kind folks at the Nebraska
State Historical Society that put us on to these labels.

To save me at least from looking, Karen, do you have an item # for those
Associated Bag labels?  I've looked at the website, & I haven't the
faintest
idea which page I might find it on.  I suspect others might like to know as
well.

Thanks,

DS
