Thanks Randy. Unable to access any of those, I belong to JStor, they had nothing.
Errors occur re OCR recognition
The "Hook" I was thinking perhaps the paper washer and string device, but I cannot see how that may have been "secretive" I wonder if it was the brass "split pin" device?
PULP AND PAPER MAGAZINE January 1, 1915.
In the case of Barber-Ellis vs. the Neostyle Envelope Company, the Barber-Ellis Company of Brantford received from the Envelope Company a license for the manufacture and sale throughout Canada of envelopes invented by the latter. The envelope was of the style now much used, with a hook to secure the flap at one end. The representations made to the Barber-Ellis Company when the license was granted were, among, others, that it was safe, secure and secret and would carry through the mails two ounces for one cent. By the Post Office regulations any package to be carried at that rate must be prepared so as to be opened for inspection and closed again without injury. On the patented envelope in question being submitted to the Post Oftice authorities it was ruled that the matter contained thei-ein must pay letter postage. The Bar- ber-Ellis Company thereupon notified the envelope company of this and claimed that the license conti'aet should be rescinded. The respondents refused to con- cede this and undertook to furnish an envelope which would be within the patent and would satisfy the postal authorities. They did produce an envelope which the authorities accepted, but the appellants re- fuseii to continue the contract, and an action for dam- ages was brought. The trial judge held that the modi- fied envelope was outside the terms of the contract and disiiiissed the action. His judgment was reversed by the Api)ellate Division, which held that it was with- in the sjH'citicatious for the patent and covered by the contract The respondents, after the contract was re- pudiated, had gi anted another license for part of Can- ada to <:n<)tiier comjiany and the Appellate Division held tha: they had a right to do so. Judgment was reserved by the Supreme Court.

Here is a Neostyle envelope designed with the hooked side flap for inspection purposes - with the flap opened, and a close-up of the embossed lettering on the flap-edge. The top flap appears to be sealed normally.   Here is a slightly later envelope with the patent dates on the side flap:   The two patents seem to match: July 18, 1911 for patent 997,999 for an "Envelop", and July 2, 1912 for patent 1,031,521 for a "Postal mailing card", although this one does not match as well, I do not find a better match for this date. |

rod - What you have there is sometimes also called an advertising collar or stamp collar. |

Along a similar vein... Received free stamps from SCF member "Maguss" The stamps were hinged on strange album pages, US Government Bonds register pages.   I Googled John C Moore, and found a lovely "Collar" cover Sold $24 Stamp Auction Network  |
