ABSTRACT:
Labels for file folders that each has a self-adhesive backed surface and in a non-folded position has a front surface with a given letter of the alphabet printed on one half and the same letter of the alphabet printed on the other half at right angles to the first mentioned letter for permitting the label to be used either for top tab filing or end tab filing. In either case, with the label properly positioned on the file folder, and the file properly placed in a vertical position in a file cabinet, one letter will be upright on the desired side of the tab to which the label is adhered. Thirteen distinctive colors are keyed to the first 13 letters of the alphabet as a solid block, and the same 13 colors are used for the second half of the alphabet with strips (bands) through the colored portions of the labels. In a second form of the invention, each label has two occurrences of the same letter, but at right angles to one another, on the end portion thereof; and two occurrences of a different letter, but at right angles to one another, on the opposite end portion thereof together with an appropriate color band on the central portion of the label. Each end portion of the label is joined to the central portion along a perforated line to permit tearing off the respective letter (both occurrences) that is not to be used on the label. Again, with the second form of the invention, the label with the appropriate end portion torn off may be used for either top tab filing or end tab filing and have the desired letter in an upright condition.
