GULBRANSEN SHIPPING LABEL.
To get each package of advertising material to the
proper party and have it opened immediately the Gul-
bransen Co., Chicago, has designed an attractive two-
color label which literally jumps at the person who
receives the package and reminds him that the con-
tents are advertising materials to help increase his
sales. It also carries the suggestion that the package
should be opened immediately and that the dealer or
distributor should start using the contents. The Gul-
branson Co. is highly satisfied with the results ob-
tained through the use of the new label. They find
that the label has eliminated complaints about non-
receipt of advertising material.
