POSTCARD Date: Posted August 12, 1929. Publisher / Photographer: Novelty Manufacturing & Art Printing Co. Notation: The card is identified on the reverse side by an imprint that reads; "Ball Room, The Fort Garry. The Grand Trunk Pacific Hotel, Winnipeg, Man.". A solid bar was later printed over "The Grand Trunk Pacific Hotel" - indicating that the postcard was likely produced prior to the 1920 absorption of the Grand Trunk Pacific by the CNR. This is one of several postcards produced in a similar unique style - each depicting one of the rooms in the hotel. The note on the back is an interesting description of the [train] trip from Toronto to Winnipeg; "Dear Anna. this is the ball room of the hotel where we are staying. Just arrived this A.M. Some rain on the way but today is fine. We have only just entered the wheat lands a few miles back. 1207 miles from Toronto is mostly woods & brush, but many beautiful lakes."
