Use Simmins' Effective Sanitary 



Postage Damper 



And discontinue this unpleasant practice. 



(PROTECTED.) 



Self-contained— Direct in action— Simple— Clean— Effectual- 

 No Brughes— No Rollers- Only the paper handled. 



This little apparatus which is so simple, yet direct and certain in its 

 application, fills a void long felt by -all, whether they have little or much 

 correspondence. . 



Licking the gum on Envelopes, Stamps, etc., is not by any means a 

 process which commends itself to the refined tastes of this century, though 

 until now has been put up with as a distaseful, if not a disgusting necessity, 



Simmins' Damper is introduced in a most simple form, puposely to meet 

 the requirements of the general public. It has a convenient reservoir for 

 water, and will damp any varying thickness as needed, whether wrappers, 

 folded papers, or envelope enclosures. 



Agreat feature is that a more rapid and ier/ect.a.dhesion is secured than by 

 the disagreeable practice of licking, while it is remarkable that less pressure 

 is afterwards required. 



DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 



First nearly fill the water vessel ; replace the cover, and in a few seconds 

 the damping pad is fully saturated ready for use. 



Envelopes. — Turn the flap back, and while resting the gummed portion 

 upon the shaped side of damping pad, pass the fore-finger of the right hand 

 rapidly over the same. 



Stamps. — Use these in strips held in right hand. Damp the envelope 

 ' corner under firm pressure, or the stamp with light quick pressure, pressing 

 on with left hand wWle at the same time tearing off with the right hand. 



Postage Wrappers. — Fold round as usual until near the gummed line, 

 hold over pad and run the fore-finger quickly along the margin above gum.
