POSTCARD Date: Posted July 11, 1909 to a Mr. Walter Anderson in Minneapolis. Publisher / Photographer: Published for E. M. Sanders by Warwick Bro's & Rutter #4820 Notation: In addition to the image itself, I was drawn to this card by the handwritten message - particularly the writer's description of travelling by train; FRONT: "I came in on this line from Plum Coulee, a distance of about 28 miles and it took just one hour & twenty minutes, thats travelling some. The roughest ride I ever had, Ha Ha. something like the Scenic R.R. at wonderland. Well Walter if you want to take a rough ride come up and ride on this line it is the Great No. [Great Northern Railway]" REVERSE SIDE: "Friend Walter, I will drop you a card and let you know that I am still alive.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: This building is the flour mill of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company Limited in Keewatin, Ontario. The mill was in operation from 1888 - 1967, marketing its product as Five Roses Flour. These tracks are running East towards Kenora. The Town of Keewatin lies across a small bay/channel just to the south (right) of the mill. The small building seen in the distance on the right side of the photo is the Keewatin railway station.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Elephants and camels strolling on the road beside the park attached to the C.P.R. Station in Kenora, (Station is to the right of this picture.) It seems quite likely that the circus arrived by train, as a journey by road from the nearest sizeable town (Winnipeg) would have been over 100 miles of primitive roads through inhospitable terrain. Note on reverse reads; "This is some of the circus that was here. I finished them up, and painted them myself too."

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Note the #3 in the upper right corner. This is apparently part of a set produced by an unidentified publisher/photographer. I also have #4 in the set which is the full front of the CP station. I also have #s 7,10, 11 &12 which are all of Banff and nearby mountains. #10 & 11 are virtually identical so I suspect this set was not produced for commercial purposes.
