This 1911 postal money order advice receipt from Knob, California documents a financial transaction processed through the United States postal system during the early twentieth century.

Postal money orders provided a secure method for transferring funds, particularly in rural or less-banked areas where traditional financial institutions were limited. Small communities like Knob relied on post offices as key financial intermediaries, handling payments, remittances, and recordkeeping. Documents such as this reflect the structured procedures of postal finance, including detachable coupons, issuing office verification, and retained records for accounting purposes.

The receipt features the printed heading Coupon with fields for payee, remitter, and amount, alongside instructions indicating it should be detached and retained by the paying office. Handwritten entries identify the transaction details, while multiple circular postal stamps mark the issuing office and date. The compact square format and official typography emphasize its administrative function, preserving both printed and handwritten elements of the transaction.
