The Rattler envelope

This Haish Company envelope was shared with us by Kevin Haish, who found this item on eBay. 

The envelope was mailed from DeKalb, IL to Chicago, IL in 1888. The design features Haish's "The Rattler," his wire fence stretcher invention, as well as his trademark rooster, which works as a return label reading "If I don't catch him in ten days return me to J. Haish & Co., 'S' Barb Steel Fence Wire, DeKalb, Ill."
