The print consists of a diamond (longest points facing east-west) with decorative edges. The following words appear; "ALBANY FISHING" / "'Phone 302." / "GEO." / "MORRISON" / "& CO." / "TACKLE DEPOT" . The words Geo. Morrison & Co. are enclosed in an oval shape which itself is enclosed in another oval shape. The flaps of the envelopes appear on the narrow edges.
