This has no identifying information, but it is a Canadian card and shows a Brandon pennant in the background, much like another card that I have with a car in it that was a souvenir of the Dominion Exhibition, held in Brandon in 1913. I expect this is another such card.

This real photo postcard is the work of Maurice Lyall of Lyall Commercial Photo Co. of Winnipeg. It is unusual to find a Lyall card from outside Winnipeg, let alone Alberta, but perhaps the number "466" suggests that it wasn't so unusual at the time. The card has a Moose Jaw & Calgary R.P.O. postmark dated October 14, 1913, with a letter to Mrs. George Whyte of Blyth, Ontario, reading: "Medicine Hat, Oct. 14,/13 Dear old Friend, This is just a line to show you I am alive and well. I have been kept very busy among the fruit. (?) We have very fine weather here yet. I expect to be home before Xmas. This Church cost about $125,000.00. My kindest regards to my Blyth friends. Sincerely, Frank Metcalf."
As always, excellent detail in the photo by Lyall.
