University of Toronto

"Dear Gertie, We have got a pretty little room and use of bathroom in a good part of the city for a dollar a week 4/- We all went to see it to-day Sunday and they are all English People too. Arthur."

On a Canadian Postal Card undivided back, addressed to Miss Daisy Scott, 1 Bredeaux Rd., Clapham Rd., London, Eng. and postmarked November 20, 1904 at Toronto. Bert, the writer, was living at 521 Parliament Street at the time. Even at this early stage, University College is having trouble keeping the grass on the Front Campus growing, as the little sign urges people to "Keep to Roadway" (or something like that). No indication of the manufacturer.

Mailed April 8, 1907 with an interesting triple-ring circular Toronto cancel. The card was sent by young Sarah Trenwith to her aunt, Mrs. C. Blunderfield, Station Cottages, Fakenham, England. Valentine & Sons, no. 100,698.

Unused Valentine & Sons oval frame card showing what was the Royal College of Dental Surgeons building on College Street. I believe that building is still there.

Valentine & Sons, no. 109,417, unused. This building now houses the University of Toronto bookstore and is known as the Koffler Centre.

Valentine & Sons, no. 109,419. Unused. This is now the Mining Building at the University of Toronto, at College and McCaul Streets. My late uncle, who was Professor of Geology, used to have his office on the topmost floor above the main doorway.
