June 7 1929

Nothing more than an old lone Kodak snapshot, measuring 1-1/2 square inches, and a two-cent stamp pasted on the outside of a letter proved sufficient for railroad and postal officials to deliver the missive to the proper address, and within one day after it was mailed from Alexandria.

A friend of John Motto at Alexandria found the snapshot taken many years ago. He forgot Motto's name and address, so yesterday tossed the letter with the unique address into a mail box at Alexandria. Motto got it this morning when Warsaw mail employees had no trouble in identifying the tiny photo, still an excellent likeness even after a score and three years.
