Year = 1909

Lithographed card by Lewis Rice of Moose Jaw, Sask., with 1909 copyright date. Same image as used on his 'ploughing and disking and breaking' card, but in much better condition.

One of two 1909 cards by Lewis Rice of Moose Jaw, Sask. Very nice image of horses in the rolling countryside out there. Unused.

Used but not mailed, with what appears to be the conclusion of a multi-card message written across the entire back: "...some one who will lend me a little. I haven't got much room in this letter with these post cards that is the way me and Pearl is going to our honest end I will have to rite you a longer letter next time I rite I will conclude with best love from your Loving Brother & Sister." The author doesn't actually capitalize the word "I". This is another nice example of Lewis Rice's work.

Mailed at Haileybury, Ont., May 9, 1909 to Miss Edna Hemphill, 651 South 3rd East St, Salt Lake City, Utah. Valentine & Sons no. 102,464 with additional mention of The Canada Railway News Co., Toronto.

Postmarked at Quebec, August 28, 1909, a Warwick Bros. & Rutter card (no. 466) with the intricate Warwick back. Writer notes "This city is full of charm" -- addressed to Mrs. Oscar Beebe, Orient Point, Long Island, New York.

Another of the "J.B.C." or "B.J.C." (or whatever) cards. I see now that they say Copyright A.S. Meeker, N.Y. 1909 in the little oval right on the front (at lower left). This one is addressed to Miss Alice Sutton "With love + best wishes from your loving cousins Art + Harriet Watts."

Has a J.B.C. (in some order) monogram logo on the bad. It is series no. 899. It is a U.S. card as far as I can see. The only inscription is to Arthur -- "With many happy returns of the day".

Valentine & Sons no. 100,004 postmarked December 7, 1909 to Miss Lenton, Glen Cove, Chester and marked "Doris for her collection": "Very many thanks for your P.C. You was smart. We got up ?? soon after 10 and as you see landed all safe. It's a lovely day to-day. I'm not feeling Chester-sick, though Sat. can come round. K. has a pict. your you when you come up. Love to ... Tuesday. Rose." This would be to Chester, Nova Scotia.

Card with a special CNE cancellation dated September 6, 1909, addressed to H. H. Jenkins, Nester Flats, Geneva, N.Y. with a brief note to "Bert" as H. H. was apparently known.
