Settlers enroute to Last Mountain Valley, Sask.

This lithographed postcard shows settlers departing for the Last Mountain Valley area of Saskatchewan on March 27, 1911. It was produced by William Pearson Co., as indicated on the front. This company was likely the promoter of settlement in this region of Saskatchewan.

A Stedman Bros. card (G. D. C. 4624) showing a fairly unremarkable scene. But the intention is to convey the image of these frontier towns as civilized places with "crescents" on which one could presumably go for a leisurely drive.
