The portfolio is made of common green holland such as is sold for 

 window-shades. Its border is the passe-partout ribbon sold for framing 

 small pictures and used by photographers for protecting lantern slides. Its 

 end-flaps are secured by an elastic band one-quarter inch wide, passed 

 through the two eyelets at one end and sewed fast. At the opposite end 

 the eyelet is strengthened by a circlet of strong paper or thin cardboard 

 and a common dress hook on the end of elastic bands hooks into these 

 strengthened eyelets and holds the flaps in place. The two bands at the 

 sides are bordered with the holland of the same color and carefully 

 pasted on, for they not only strengthen the portfolio but give it a square, 

 box-like shape, instead of uncertain edges.
