WP2000 WPG - T. EATON'S BLOC - WINNIPEG

POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Likely 1906-1907

Publisher / Photographer: L.J. De Nobele, Winnipeg #40

Notation: This image shows the Eaton's building with the original 5 storeys. Opened in 1905, three additional stories were added by 1910.

Of particular interest: On the reverse side, the message section has been printed with an advertising message for a clothing store in Brussels with the catch phrase (translated from French): "Do you want to be well-dressed at a good price?" Apparently the card could be sent by the store as an advertising piece. This is presumably a secondary use of the card. I am aware of one other Brussels-based company that used cards by this publisher in a similar way.
