What's interesting beyond the similarities of the systems is the means by which they were sold and spread. The 1909 envelop specifically recommends using the system as "comprehensive card index" which is essentially what most second brain or zettelkasten systems are, though there is a broad disconnect between some of this and the reimagining of the zettelkasten in current craze for using Niklas Luhmann-esque organization methods which have some different aims. With alphabetic tabs for the desktop version, one could easily have used this for "Building a Second Brain" as described by modern productivity gurus who almost exclusively suggest digital tools for maintaining their systems now. The 1909 envelope also appears to combine a predecessor to the 43 folders idea mixed with the hipster PDA in a coherent pocket and desk-based system. It also doesn't take much imagination for one to look at the back of a Wilson Memindex envelope from 1909 or an ad from the 1930s to see the similarity to the 43 folders system, bits of Getting Things Done (GTD), or the Bullet Journal methods in common use today.
Some will certainly see close ties of this early product to the idea of the " hipster PDA" or Hawk Sugano's Pile of Index Cards which appeared in 2006.
