Mailed in England, postmarked November 14, 1905 with a brief message for Miss E. Challance, 57 High St., Lincoln.

This is another Government Agent card that seems to be explaining how things work in western Canadian agriculture: "Each bag contains about 1 1-2 bushels. Each wagon contains 70 to 100 bushels." Unused.

Another Government Agent card. I guess this is out in Alberta.

Boundless it was, and is. An unused Government Agent card.

Nice Government Agent card depicting Wawanesa, Manitoba. Postmarked at Meltham (Eng.), November 25, 1905 and sent to Miss C. Johnson, 4 Queen's Road, Jesmond, Newcastle on Tyne.

I've added six cards to my collection of "Government Agent" cards, bringing my total to 18 (32 or 33 are known to exist). This one explains that "Cattle are driven from ranches in hundreds and loaded on cars for English and other markets." The card was unused.

Hogg's Hollow (misspelled). Valentine & Sons card 100,826.

Looking south from College and Spadina (compare the other card looking in the opposite direction). This is a Pugh Manufacturing Co. card. Pugh cards are less commonly found today than those of Valentine & Co. Pugh was headquartered in downtown Toronto -- on Toronto Street I believe. They seem to have produced a huge selection of postcards from all parts of Canada, but you don't see them that often.
