Hospitals, sanatoria and similar institutions

An early Warwick Bros. & Rutter undivided back card, no. 172, depicting the Brandon General Hospital. The addressee was Miss Stella Lawrence, 15 Laval Ave., Montreal (Miss Lawrence's postcard collection pops up quite a lot ... she must have had a lot of them). The writer of this card appears to realize that Stella is interested in receiving more: "Will try to send you some more cards before then." The card is postmarked at Brandon on October 1, 1905.

Unrecorded C. S. Co. card no. 607.

By Henry Hechler of Halifax, dated July 15, 1901 and addressed to Mr. Leo W. Geisler, Sr., Amsterdam Ave and 105th St. "Drug Store", Manhattan Bor., New York, U.S.A. The cancels on the back (see image) are slightly odd as it appears that the postmark reads [19]05 -- it seems possible that the original stamp was torn off and another attached at a later date but I can't quite figure out why. The note on the front appears to be suggesting that liquor is hard to come by in Halifax.

Posted November 23, 1910, this card is on flimsy stock and is perforated. It is credited to the Western Publishing Co., in the Hample Block, Winnipeg.

Unused card, likely from the 1920s.

N. Co. card mailed at Brantford on July 15, 1907 to Miss Helen Bensley of Trenton, Ont. from Opal Laird. with a short message. Numbered "A. 730. 155." on the reverse.

Valentine & Sons card showing the Hospital for Sick Children building that is now the Canadian Blood Services building at College and Elizabeth Streets.

Image of Children's Hospital, with message about how the writer passes it on her way to music lessons. I pass it myself on the way to work which is why I liked this one. The card is by The Picture Postcard Co. of Ottawa, and is number 539 in the Imperial Series.

E. G. Hewitt, Maple Creek, Sask. C. S. Co. no. 546. Not in Souch.
