I saw at least one of these posted on SCF and it generated some interest so I thought I would share a few images of the one I just acquired.
I don't know much about it other that what is written inside.
It appears authentic.
Anybody have family in Martell, Nebraska in the 1920s?
They may be listed here if they rented a P.O. Box

If you want more of the pages scanned and posted here just ask.

Some Wikipedia history below about Martell (was spelled with one L previously)

Martell (also Martel) is an unincorporated community in southwestern Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States. It lies along local roads southwest of the city of Lincoln, the county seat of Lancaster County and Nebraska's state capital. Its elevation is 1,332 feet (406 m). Although Martell is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 68404.

Martell was named after Charles Martel, the 8th-century Duke of the Franks. The community's name was also spelled Martel until the Board on Geographic Names officially decided in favor of "Martell" in 1896.
