POSTCARD Date: Posted July 1, 1914 to Mrs J. P. Mitchell in Waterman, Illinois. Publisher / Photographer: Edwards Studio, Killarney, Pilot Mound, Manitou Notation: I am assuming these crowds are assembling for a parade. Further up the street, a marching band is assembling. I can't be certain, but it looks like there could be a ceremonial arch at the far end of the street. Note on the reverse reads; "June 30 Dear Bro & Sister & Donald & Gladys. How are you? Ask Annie for some particulars. Am sending her a newspaper. Tomorrow is our big day here July 1st. Jessie is not very well. All have had Pink eye & now chicken pox is starting. Arlene has them, what will be next. Look at X on other side. E." I guess X is someone the recipients would recognize. Sadly, the signs are hard to read. I can only make out Hoffman & Jacobs on one, Confectionery and Baker, Refreshments, and Harnesses on others.

POSTCARD Date: Posted January 26,1911 to Mr. H. Henderson in Rochester Minnesota Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Signs strung over the street: "Meals at All Hours" and "Come Ye Back Again Soon". Signs carried; "EAST-LYNN" and "Royal Rayfield". Message on reverse side reads; "Brian(?) Jan 25 - Dear Jeremiah - Received your cards tonight and was getting pretty anxious about you but feel better now. Hope you are on the red ticket now, I have had no school for 2 days. I have been there but no one else has so I have had an easy time. We are putting the "Pirates" on again on January 31. Guess you will miss it again. JW."

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation:This seems to be the end of the Field Day parade and the sign in the rear reads "High and Public Schools Killarney". These appear to be young women (students?) flanked by a few older women (teachers?). The larger banner reads; "Meals at All Hours". The one further back reads; "Come Ye Back Soon". The furthest one back appears to read; "Killarney's Glad to You". There is a "Laundry" sign on the building in the right foreground.

Date: Posted 1925 Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified The Breen Motor Company building in this image is still in use at 245 Main Street. It was built in 1922 and helps to date this image.The building to the south has a large vertical sign (not legible) and a small horizontal sign that appears to read "Oakland". It is possible that it was advertising the Oakland Automobile that was in production until the early 30s - and that the building housed another automobile dealership. The building on the right is identified as the "Canadian National Land Settlement Association" and is the former Industrial Building at Main & Water. The men in the parade all have a 5-pointed star on their sashes. Thanks to M. Wroniak's post (below), image can be dated as post 1923.

Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Meyers Photo The Victory Parade down Portage Avenue, celebrating Peace Day (the end of WWI) on July 19, 1919.
