Beaches

Nicely coloured card showing a beach on Lake Superior. Letter dated at Chapleau, Ont., Feb. 15, 1913 (or possibly 1917). To Fred from his "Dadda" Fred Wilson. Valentine & Sons oval series, no number visible.

Unused Photogelatine Engraving Co. (PECO) card, no. 18, showing the Grand Beach CNR station and numerous beach-goers.

Pugh Manufacturing Co. postcard, no number, unused.

This one is a little muddier looking in real life but Photoshop brightened it up very nicely. Posted Aug. 12, 1907 to Mrs. Wm. Mills, 28 Kennelworth Cres., Beech, Toronto: "My dear Hannah, All well here - I am none to[o] strong but gaining. Sorry Ella goes tomorrow evening. Picture of children on way to lake. Love to all. Affect., sister Sarah."

Valentine & Sons card no. 105,146. Posted at Winnipeg Canada Station 3 on Feb. 27, 1910. "Dear Myrtle: Have been waiting for a card for a long time. I have sent two since I heard from you last. Lill got your card today and was glad to hear from you. I suppose you are busy now. I am that busy that I do not know what I'm doing. I suppose there is quite a few people in Bolingbroke now. I guess I can't get any more on this card. From Pim." To Miss Myrtle Norris, Bolingbroke, Ont., Canada

Unused Valentine & Sons card, no. 105,142.

Valentine & Sons card, no. 105,154. Posted May 19, 1912 at Winnipeg to Miss Elsie Lenoble (?), Allentown, Penna., U.S.A. "Winnipeg, Man., Canada May 18/1912 In here 9 15 a.m. leave for Battleford, Sask, Canada at 11 PM tonight. Madison."

Unused Valentine & Sons card, no. 111,995 (so not from the same series as the others -- a rather late Valentine actually).

Unused, no indication of publisher although to me it has a Martel-ish look. Divided back.
