Besides address labels, fans go in for custom stickers to promote bids, affixed to con badges.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
A little gummed piece of paper, usually less than 3" long and having space for maybe four lines of type. Sometimes applied to the letter sheet in lieu of letterhead, or more usually stuck to the envelope. It may carry the fan's name, one or more of his publication's titles, names of organizations, and descriptive words like "Scientifictionist"; others say "Member Suchandsuch Organization", plug a convention, Esperanto, flying saucers or some such thing, or maybe boost science fiction in general.
