The ad highlights the ease of sealing envelopes with Gilbert Envelope Bond, which features a crisp, cotton fiber appearance and a moistening glue that sticks firmly on the first touch. The product is described as having no curling or springbacks and remains sealed until opened at its destination. The ad also emphasizes the paper's opacity for privacy and its compatibility with high-speed mailing machines.
