1936 (Jan & Mar) commercial window-envelopes with KGV 1d + Victoria Centenary 3d or KGV 4d olive (for Nestlé) tied by Perth slogans, both with 'CARNARVON' arrival backstamps. A very scarce duo. The Printed Matter rate was 1d + airmail supplement of 3d. This quadrupling of the cost would have deterred most senders of printed notices etc from using airmail. (2)
