  • Patent number: 4102489
    Abstract: A business reply form to be mailed from a sender to a recipient initially comprises two detachably connected folded sealed sheets; namely, a first instruction sheet which is to be retained by the recipient; and a second questionnaire sheet which is to be detached from the first instruction sheet, filled out by the recipient, folded, and returned by mail to the sender. The second questionnaire sheet includes the name and address of the recipient typed thereon in an address space and the first sheet contains a window in registry with the address space through which the name and address of the recipient appears when the form is initially mailed to the recipient. Thus, one entry of the recipient's name and address on the second sheet by the sender enables the form to be mailed to the recipient and also serves to identify the recipient when the second questionnaire sheet is returned to sender.
