Bank buildings

Postmarked in August 1912 at Eyebrow, Saskatchewan and addressed to Mrs. A. Hailstone, Carling, Ontario (Parry Sound District). A branch of the Northern Bank is at right. The card appears to be in the Winnipeg Photo Co. series but is not marked as such. It is numbered 699. It is attributed to W. H. Hunter. The Central Drug Hall appears in the centre of the photo, so it is possible that W. H. Hunter could have been the proprietor of that shop.

Card number 1101 published by J. A. Stewart, Rosthern, Sask. but probably a C. S. Co. card. A message in French written across the back. At left in the photo is the Imperial Bank of Canada.

This unattributed image is a very sharp photo of downtown Outlook, Sask., including the snazzy new Canadian Bank of Commerce, a fascinating pastiche of Prairie Clapboard and Ancient Athens. Two well-dressed gents appear to be posing for the photographer. The letter was composed at 12:05 p.m. on December 12, 1911 and reads "We drove in here today my brother it is 16 miles from his place. We are going back with him and to-morrow we will go to Saskatoon. Snow is falling here to-day. Best wishes, Wm." This was addressed to Miss Hilda Melander, Temple, N. Dak., U.S.A. and postmarked at Outlook on December 12, 1911.

By Van, The Camera Man of Regina although likely a Winnipeg Photo Co. effort. Nice view with helpful annotations -- great image of the post office under construction.

Posted somewhere in Ontario in 1907 to Miss L. Sevett, c/o Miss Collins, Capliegh, Cross-in-Hand, Sussex, England, without a message. No indication of publisher. Here we get a good view of part of the pre-1912 Bankers' Row, with the Bank of Commerce, Bank of Nova Scotia, Merchants Bank, Eastern Townships Bank and Bank of Ottawa among the seven buildings shown.

Valentine & Sons, no. 110,222, posted at Edmonton on Sept. 3, 1915 to Mrs Dalgelish, 1022 - 13 Ave W, Calgary, Alta. "Dear Mrs Dalgalish, How are you after the party. Miss Mawson's met us at the station so we are having a nice time. Expect to leave for home next week if all is well. It is cold here to day. Closing with love + best wishes, From your loving Friend, Mrs. Mary Currie"
