People at work, labour

My first Newfoundland card. I thought these were very evocative images. The card is by the Newfoundland Pictorial Post Card Co. and is dated 1904. It is unused.

By Russell Photo Studio, Cor. Main St. & Pacific Ave., Winnipeg. Unused, no message. Presumably obtained and sent by "Syd". The names are legible.

Posted at Vancouver, Sept. 16, 1907 to Mr. B. Lloyd-Janes, Mt. Vernon, Ont. Long letter on back.

Published by W. T. McEachern, unused.

Postmarked Bradwardine, January 15, 1909 to Miss Odessa King, Cedar Rapids, Nebraska: "Dear Cousin, I am doing a lot of skating her [sic]. I supos [sic] you are doing a lot there. I am cuting [sic] ice for the town pepal [sic] at $2.00 a load. Gilbert." Prairie Lumber Company Limited sits across the street from the pile of lumber. The taller building near the horse and buggy is the Bank of Hamilton. Looking at this location today, it is hard to believe that any of this ever existed -- goo.gl/maps/4j4p9 At least the old elevator is still there, which is unusual enough in itself.

A great action shot ... appears to be Canadian as it is a "Made in Canada" postcard back.

Warwick Bros. & Rutter card 3102 -- a slightly different design than the other three Frank slide cards. This one shows where the miners were entombed. It is on the fancy Warwick divided back (the others have the boxy "Canadian Souvenir Post Card" back, undivided in one case and divided in the other two).
