Winnipeg Tribune, June 8, 1908, p. 5 -- the Imperial Dry Goods Block suffered a fire and was shortly to be converted into the Royal Bank building. This building is pictured here on a postcard, likely a couple of years earlier, during a previous liquidation sale: www.flickr.com/photos/26266017@N00/6176774286/in/photolist-apPzNo-aiWeSm-dxM7QN-e6NkJi

Winnipeg Tribune, July 24, 1905, p. 12 -- a big find here as we see the Government Agent cards being described. This gives us a rough date for their creation (which is about right given the postmarks on the series, which tend to be late 1905 and into 1906). Click on the Government Agent Cards 'album' at right to see some of the cards in this set.

Advertisement for the Tory paper and long-time (and now much missed) rival to the dominant Winnipeg Free Press -- May 15, 1899, p. 8.

I'm not familiar with Palmer. Winnipeg Tribune, May 31, 1905, p. 5.

Eaton's selling leather postcards shortly after the store opened -- the leather postcard appears to have been a 1905 phenomenon. Winnipeg Tribune, August 26, 1905, p. 3.

Interesting ... I've heard that the tinselled cards were injuring postal workers, but this is the first time I've seen an actual contemporary report of that. Winnipeg Tribune, March 15, 1907, p. 8.

Interesting use of postcards --- would be nice to know if anyone out there has one of these. Winnipeg Tribune, December 1, 1903, p. 7.

The U.S. finally allowed divided-back postcards in 1907 but evidently forgot to extend the rule to postal cards (the government issued version of postcards). Winnipeg Tribune August 2, 1907, p. 5.
