Reverse of the Prince Albert card, showing further conventions of French card-senders -- striking out the words "POST CARD" and substituting "Printed Matter" and/or "Imprimé" and writing "au verso" or (here, in English) "T.O." (presumably, "Turn Over") so that the Canadian Post Office would not fail to note that the correct postage had indeed been affixed on the picture side of the card. The Waterworth Series, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Reverse of the NWCTA certificate.

Sharp, excellent image of "beachgoers" in Prince Albert. The enormous ladies' hats were clearly the style in 1912, as similar ones appear in the similar Lyall RPPCs of Winnipeg Beach from that same summer. Note that this card has been sent to France, with the stamp on the front as appears to have been required of postcards sent to France, Belgium and other countries.

NWCTA membership certificate. With this, the commercial traveller could be assured of preferred treatment on railways and at hotels. The North West Commercial Travellers Association was headquartered in Winnipeg.
