At first this affected by the ex-president, his wife or widow signing the envelope in the upper right corner. Later envelopes with the signature preprinted came into use, and these are still in use today. Besides using preprinted envelopes, some ex-presidents and their wives also used permit printers to apply the free franks. So far, all the machines known used for this purpose have been Pitney Bowes products." PFF1. Herbert Hoover. (EKU: 30 OCT 1958) right|350px Town mark reads "NEW YORK / N.Y." PFF2.
