POSTCARD
Date: Not evident. Unposted.
Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified
Notation: Note the #4 in the upper right corner. This is apparently part of a set produced by an unidentified publisher/photographer. I also have #3 in the set which is the full front of the CP station. I also have #s 7,10, 11 &12 which are all of Banff and nearby mountains. #10 & 11 are virtually identical so I suspect this set was not produced for commercial purposes.
The carriage on the right reads" IMPERIAL HOTEL" and "MCLEOD & MORTON". McLeod and Morton were the Proprietors of the Imperial Hotel at the corner of Main Street and Alexander. With rates of $2.00 per day, they advertised "Free bus to and from all trains" (from April 22, 1911 edition of the Winnipeg Tribune).
The back end of the wagon on the right reads; "CANADIAN BAGGAGE, TRANSFER & EXPRESS CO."
