1. A method of preparing a letter for mail solicitation related to the name and mailing address of the intended recipient, said letter being of a type rectangularly shaped having an area imprinted with product data and folded transversely of said imprinted area into an underlying first panel and an overlying second panel, said preparation of said letter for recipient-related mail solicitation comprising the steps of imprinting at spaced intervals in at least one printing run on a paper substrate in strip form on a first surface thereof product-related data, imprinting at said same spaced intervals in another printing run on said paper strip on an opposite second surface thereof recipient-related data in at least two selected locations, of which a first selected location is adjacent one edge and a second selected location is laterally spaced therefrom adjacent an opposite edge, delineating from said two-sided imprinted paper strip at each said spaced interval a letter for mailing to a recipient related to the imprinted data at said two selected locations, die-cutting from a cardboard substrate a blank serving as a mailing enclosure for said letter formed of an underlying back panel having a lower edge and a side edge and extending from said lower edge an overlying front panel and from said side edge a closure panel, said underlying back and overlying front panels having die-cut data-displaying openings at selected locations adapted to align with each other in an overlying position of said front panel upon said underlying back panel, adhesively securing said front panel to said rear panel to form a double ply construction with said die-cut data-displaying openings in aligned relation, and adhesively securing said letter for mailing with said imprinted second surface to said double ply construction formed by said back and front panels with said one imprinted recipient-related data in alignment with said data-displaying openings, whereby the data through said openings provides an external display of mailing address information of the intended recipient and the recipient-related data at said second location is presented to a reader as a personalized salutation of a letter.
