Postmarked Winnipeg, June 19, 1911, evidently from a new arrival: "Winnipeg, Canada 19/6/11 Dear Jessie: We both arrived here this morning (Monday) 4:00 a.m. after 3 days + nights in train from Quebec. We passed along spot marked X. Lovely scenery terribly hot, both well. Fondest Love, Lionel." This was addressed to Miss J. Coultree, Claremont Cottage, Shepley, Huddersfield, England. Valentine & Sons image 100,522.

Postmarked "Credit Forks, Ont." on May 22, 1907 and sent to Miss Price, East Oxford School, Cowley Road, Oxford, England with the message (in a schoolgirl hand, likely to a former teacher): "Miss Price. We arrived at our journey's end safely. I hope you + your sister are quite well. We are 50 miles from Toronto + we are at Forks of Credit, Ontario, Canada." No maker stated but there is a number -- 1314 -- on the back.

Unused Canadian Department of Emigration (1, Regent Street, London S.W. 1) card, celebrating our abundant apples (not computers, although a Canadian did "invent" the "luscious" MacIntosh apple.)

This is a later version of the emigration "propaganda" card (later than the Government Agent series, that is). This one is stated on the back to have been issued by the Canadian Department of Emigration, 1, Regent Street, London, S.W. 1. It is unused. I don't know where the school depicted was.

This postcard is unused but is addressed to Vinnie Binkley, Brookville, Ohio. On the front is a faint stamp: "B. F. Kiester, Dist. Mgr., 102 Salem Ave. Dayton, O." This card is #2 in a series of immigration-promoting cards issued (one assumes) by a land company.
