Red Star News Co., London, Ontario, numbered 148542 and 691:07. Long letter on the back dated October 11, 1908, notes the difficulty of obtaining a variety of postcards in the country. Letter from Montie Smith.

Very nice photo of the Hamilton Hotel, "Dan. Hamilton, prop." in Neepawa, Manitoba. Note the livery vehicle at right and the little wheeled cart that two boys appear to be riding along the sidewalk. Despite the fact that it was one of the larger towns in Manitoba at the time, cards from Neepawa from this era are not especially common.

Mailed November 23, 1908 at Neepawa with the message "Well, I thought you would like a Postal Card from Neepawa, so I send you this. J. E. Hughes." This is addressed to Miss Ella Weedy, 11th Street, Brandon.

Winnipeg Photo Co. card #1107 dated 1908, showing the main street of Ninga, Manitoba. Inscribed on reverse "Uncle Richard, from Charlie".

This is almost certainly a C.S. Co. card, although it is marked only with the distributor initials "L.R. 1475". Souch's C.S. Co. booklet records an "L.R." in Moose Jaw and while card 1475 is not recorded, card 1476 *is* in the list and is also an "L.R." from Moose Jaw. Presumably "L.R." is "Lewis Rice". The postcard has a Moose Jaw & Calgary R.P.O. postmark dated June 9, 1909 and is addressed to someone whose name looks like Mr. Lee Silliman Jr. of Toulon, Illinois, which is over by the Iowa border. It reads: "Moose Jaw - Dear Nephew, I remember once upon a [time] you wrote me a letter and I will now send you a card from the fields of Canada. There is just lots of beautiful prairie and it looks like a good chance for a young man to raise wheat in [?] a good time, Your aunt, Sarah."
