I made the original Business Reply Mail order form envelope associated with the Treasury of Archaic Names project (my last with Judges Guild after I'd sold my half to Bob) in 1978-1979.
The envelope you have here is a later repaste so it's a little patchey but you can see my favorite typestyles of that earlier art work... and the IBM Model 50 proportional typeballs.
When I'd make up something like a BRM envelope at the travel agency, I'd often pass on the knowledge to Bob so he could utilize it get more sales too. I don't remember having BRM envelopes to get the order before when I was there day to day.
It may be hard to realize for younger folks but without the internet you'd have to buy it in a store or by mail. Even ordering by phone was minimal as it required having a credit card which were not yet ubiquitous especially for teenagers and 20-some-year-olds!
