Hi —JACOBS PORTFOLIO PAPER Several months since we bought one of the files hereillustrated, and we would not sell it (if we could notget another) for several times its cost. By its means,we are enabled to keep a file of the current volume of On the of the latter-named leaf, are twoeyes for the passage of the cords, a a. The newspaperbeing placed in the portfolio in the position shown, theneedles are pushed through it near the fold, and »r«then passed through the eyes in the edge of the leaf eyes on the free ends of the bands, b b; these,bands being forcibly drawn forward for the purpose. By this arrangement, the newspaper is not only heldin a perfectly protected and safe position, free frontcreases in its pages resulting from folds, but it is in afar more convenient form for handling than is obtainedby any other mode of filing known to us. The patent for this invention was procured (throughthe Scientific American Patent Agency) on the 15
