Number 16 in the monochrome Russell, Lang & Co. series. This was mailed October 21, 1906 in Winnipeg to Miss Mary Simpson, Burnbank Cottages, Langloan, Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland, from a J.L. c//o Mrs M. Rowden, 295 Isabel Str., Winnipeg, who wrote: "You will be thinking I have forgot you all together allways getting word from A. Getting along all right up here. Not as nice as Ontario. This is one of our harvesting scenes. Hoping this finds you all well."

This card was postmarked on August 24, 1927 at Fort William, Ont. (now part of Thunder Bay). It is addressed to Simeon Régnier, L'Acadie, Comté St-Jean, P. Q. and has a short message in French that is hard to read but is from Mr. Régnier's son. The numbering on the front of the card suggests that it was originally produced around 1908-10 by Valentine & Sons (no. 105,276) but in fact this particular printing of the card is likely a late reprint from the 1920s as it is identified on the reverse as having been published by Valentine Edy Co. of Winnipeg (one of the several North American Valentine subsidiaries that became independent of the Scottish parent company in the 1920s). It is noteworthy for showing a "Deering" plough (if that's what that is).
