POSTCARD Date: Posted October 6, 1904. from Maggie to Miss Ada Isabel Sharman in Brandon. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified #208 Notation: Undivided back. Handwritten note reads:"Dear Ada. Even if you do owe me a letter I am going to write this. Say will you come out and visit we Sourisites next week because you see we all have Thursday & Friday as holidays.now please come. I told May to ask you but as you had never written I was despairing. Please come Ada & we will have a good time. Yours Maggie".

These are the reverse sides of two bookmark-style postcards. Note that in the top one (reverse of MN0976), the inscription/instruction reads: "For 1 cent. Postage, Sender's Name and Address only allowed." I guess you were supposed to pay extra to include a message, but... the sender of card MN0975 got away with sending a message without paying more! (Hard to enforce, I would think.)

Date: Posted August 1, 1910 Publisher / Photographer: Sherrin & Co., Souris. The format and style of this card is identical to a great many published by the Pugh Manufacturing Company in Toronto. While "published" in the name of the local Sherrin & Co., it was no doubt produced by Pugh. This is an example of a somewhat rare form of postcard - what is called the "bookmark" style. Message on the reverse, sent to a Miss J. Murray in Lyleton, MB, reads; "Sorry but I am afraid that Killarney is not for me as mother & I certainly spent an enjoyable time in Br. (Brandon?) Thanks for this. Love from Mayme.
