MN1002 GLADSTONE - PUBLIC SCHOOL

27 Oct 2015 6 224
POSTCARD Date: Posted August 25, 1909 (Postcard was likely older.) Publisher / Photographer: Published for "Gladstone (Man.) Drug Company by O. K. Press W'p'g." Notation: First of all, I find this card to be rather spooky - with the raven-like line-up of folks on the roof. Putting that aside, I am speculating that this may have been the opening day for this school building - and that the workmen are poised up top.The pile of lumber behind the back right corner would seem to support this bit of conjecture. The note on the reverse of this card, sent to Iowa, reads; "I got here at 1:00 today. Couldn't get to Birtle till tomorrow so I hired out to a fellow 14 miles South West of here to stook as the(y) call it here. Don't write to me for a while yet. I will let you know when I start for Birtle."
