POSTCARD Date: Unposted, but February 13 is written on the front and the note on the back is dated February 16, 1914. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified. Notation: This postcard is quite unusual as it is a coloured real photo one. To the best of my knowledge this could only have been done by tinting the photo by hand. I have read that a stone church and rectory was constructed in 1898, replacing the original log church that had been in use since 1880. But I was unable to find images online to confirm that the structures shown on the postcard were, in fact, these buildings. I contacted the RM of Ellice-Archie and received a very thorough reply from Connie Tanguay. She sent me photographic images from the Ellice Centennial book which confirmed that the postcard is of these historic St. Lazare buildings. She also sent an article from the May 22, 1023 issue of La Liberte which reported that the church was destroyed by fire on Sunday, May 18, 1923. Apparently the church was located in the north-west part of St. Lazare and its foundations are still visible next to the old graveyard. This is a rough translation of the (French) message on the reverse: "My dear Justin, forgive me for my long silence, I will give you the reasons for it. To remember St Lazare more often, I send you one of the most beautiful memories that one can have - the church and presbytery and the hills behind. The month of February was very cold and last week 45 to 48 degrees below zero. Since yesterday -10 below zero. We find it good. We have temperatures but not earthquakes. I hope that we are very good. This card saved you a good memory of your friend."

POSTCARD Date: Posted June 25, 1906 to Miss May Dotten in Gladstone, Manitoba Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified.

POSTCARD Date: Not Posted. Handwritten note indicated July 1907. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: This card is printed on an undivided Cyko back - supporting the early date of this card. The fist time that I saw this image, I was immediately drawn to it. For a couple of years, however, I was unable to confirm its location. Many hours of online research were fruitless.The distinctive steeple was the key, but I just couldn't find a matching image anywhere. Oddly, just weeks ago I was looking at a card that has been in my collection for many years - a "children's parade" in 1907 Dauphin.For the fist time, I recognized a steeple in the background that was a perfect match for this one - confirming that this church, indeed, was located in Dauphin.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Post-1911 as dated by church construction. Publisher / Photographer: Lyall Commercial. Notation: Nice little scene in this rare winter view of Nassau Street. The two steeples on the far side (north) of the street are St Luke's Anglican (constructed 1904 -1905) and Crescent Ft. Rouge United (constructed 1911).

POSTCARD Date: Posted October 9, 1906 to Mrs. Elma Bean, Suffield, P Que. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Undivided back.

POSTCARD Date: Not evident. Not Posted. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Under magnification, the name of this ship, "Rosamond Billet", is legible on the hull just below the row of gents perched on the ship. The Manitoba Historical Society list is as having a tonnage of 679 tons and as operated by Hugh Sutherland. No other information is evident on either side of this postcard, but the location of the ship is definitely on the west side of the Red Red River, just upstream of the St. Boniface Cathedral - seen in the centre, behind what is likely the old Broadway Bridge. This mention is made in the June 13, 1911 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune; "Another Barge is Going Northward with Large Cargo The Rosamond Billet, of the Lake Winnipeg Shipping & Supply Co., Is now en route for the north heavily laden with supplies for the construction camps around lake Winnipeg. She called Saturday night and it is her second trip this season. That there Is a boom in navigation on the Red River is evidenced by the fact that on Thursday night the company owning the Rosamond Billet will launch its second large barge this spring. Interestingly, the January 3, 1921 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune lists a Rosamond Billet as one of the guests at a New Years ball held at Government House.

Date: Not evident. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified. St. Andrew's Church on the West side of the Red River, near Lockport, MB.

Posted: May 17, 1913 from Winnipeg to Elizabethtown, PA Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified It is too bad that this image has postal inking on it. It is the only postcard image I have seen of the original (seemingly-wooden) All Saints Church at the intersection of Broadway & Osborne. At this time, Osborne Street ended at Broadway and this church stood at the north side of the intersection. In the early 20's the City decided to extend Osborne through to Portage Avenue - which precipitated the demolition of this church and the construction of the new (current) stone one somewhat to the west of the original site. I assume that the large building in the back left is likely the McDonagh and Shea Brewery on Colony Street.

Unposted. Publisher / Photographer: Winnipeg Photo. Co., Napinka (No. 4) These folks had it all figured out - how to fill up the front pews, at least in winter. Just locate the woodstove right behind the preacher!
