Town = Brandon (Man.)

This has no identifying information, but it is a Canadian card and shows a Brandon pennant in the background, much like another card that I have with a car in it that was a souvenir of the Dominion Exhibition, held in Brandon in 1913. I expect this is another such card.

An unused Russell Lang & Co. card (no. 154) on an undivided "Canadian Souvenir Post Card" back. This is for those with an interest in the Brandon Experimental Farm.

Government Agent card, unused. Makes 20 that I now have.

An early Warwick Bros. & Rutter undivided back card, no. 172, depicting the Brandon General Hospital. The addressee was Miss Stella Lawrence, 15 Laval Ave., Montreal (Miss Lawrence's postcard collection pops up quite a lot ... she must have had a lot of them). The writer of this card appears to realize that Stella is interested in receiving more: "Will try to send you some more cards before then." The card is postmarked at Brandon on October 1, 1905.

Postmarked in November 1906 at Mitchell, Ont. and addressed to Miss Emma Bennewies of Brodhagen, Ont. (Perth Co.), this Russell, Lang & Co. card (no. 8) shows the Experimental Farm at Brandon. The message reads: Minto, 10/28/06, Hello Emma, How are you getting along. I have been expecting to get that photo from you but haven't got it yet. Did you get the one I sent you from MItchell. We are having lovely weather. We had our first snow to-day. Give my best respects to all. I remain your affectionate friend. Ans. soon. George H. Ratz, Box 40, Minto, Man." Why the card was posted in Mitchell, Ont. is a bit of a mystery.

Posted November 23, 1910, this card is on flimsy stock and is perforated. It is credited to the Western Publishing Co., in the Hample Block, Winnipeg.

N. Co. (Nerlich) card posted at Brandon on August 8, 1911 and mailed to Miss Isabel Madge of Virden with a message from Louise concerning her thoroughly enjoyable trip to Winnipeg and the Beach. Note the signs for Martel and Christie's Bookstore, both prominent publishers of postcards. The Christie's (misspelled) sign looks like it's printed on the card.

Published by S. J. Farmer of Brandon, with a glossy finish that is likely what has caused the card to curl a little bit. Mailed at Brandon June 9, 1908 to Mrs Train (?) 16 Cecil Park, Crouch End, London N. England, from Annie who complains that she has not heard from "any of you" and is sailing for Glasgow on the 4th of July from Montreal. It looks like it could be a C.S. Co. card but there is no serial number.

Card set with six detachable (but undetached) Nerlich & Co. cards inside (fairly common views of Brandon).
