Abstract: An open mouth receptacle adapted for mounting on a vertically disposed surface, such as a door or wall, is provided for receipt of articles, such as newspapers and packages, delivered to a residence. The receptacle is fabricated from flexible material and has its mouth bounded by facing strips of a relatively rigid and elastic material; the rigid strip assisting in the mounting of the receptacle and the elastic strip tending to normally retain the mouth of the receptacle in a closed condition.
