ABSTRACT:
A post card is disclosed which includes a rectangular-shaped base member conforming in shape and size to requirements of the United Postal Service, and an opaque cover member of substantially smaller size than the base member attached to the base member. At least a portion of the information to be transmitted by use of the post card is carried in full view at one face of the base member. Another portion of the information is carried on one of the facing surfaces of the base and cover members for normally hiding such portion from view. At least a portion of the cover member, or a portion of the base member underlying the cover member, is removable by the recipient of the post card to expose to view such normally-hidden message portion. The portion of the message to be hidden may be imprinted before the cover member is attached to the base member. Alternatively, means may be included for transferring impressions entered on the cover member, or base member opposite the cover member, onto the underlying cover or base member to allow for the entering of the hidden portion of the message after the cover member is affixed to the base member.
