Valentine & Sons no. 101,003, mailed to Mr. David Crombie (no, not that David Crombie), 47 Keith St., Barrow-in-Furness, England: "Dear Mr. Crombie: This is one of Toronto's largest Hotels. I thought I would send more than one at a time for it has such a distance to go. I have two cards from Hayle Cornwall but I expect a few more now. Kind regards. I. Tout." Nice nighttime shot of an apparently fully occupied King Eddy. No one has gone to bed yet or else they are all sleeping with the light on.

A view of the old Union Station. Unused divided back card by W. J. Gage (no. 2746). Toronto really went for those circular archways in those days.

Mailed April 8, 1907 with an interesting triple-ring circular Toronto cancel. The card was sent by young Sarah Trenwith to her aunt, Mrs. C. Blunderfield, Station Cottages, Fakenham, England. Valentine & Sons, no. 100,698.

Postmarked at Toronto, November 7, 1906 "Nov. 7th 06 Another view of Muskoka Lakes by moonlight. Guess you had better start a "Canadian Book" for P.C.'s. What do you say? I am sending five [crossed out] six this time. Hope you get them all." The fortunate recipient was Miss D. Mulhern, Craignair, Higham Road, Woodford Green, Essex, England. Valentine & Sons no. 100,518.

Valentine & Sons no. 100,516, with message as follows: "Many thanks for the very pretty p.c. received this morning. Gladys Stewart." This was sent to Mis M. A. Bayley, 4 Duke Street, St. James, London, England. The date on the front is May 1, 1906. The back is a Valentine & Sons back I'm not sure I've seen before, with the word CANADIAN set in small letters, all caps above the words POST CARD in larger upper case letters.

Unused Valentine & Sons card, no. 100,551. Attractive view of Lake Rosseau.
