Interesting Valentine & Sons card showing Garry Street in Winnipeg, looking north to (and beyond) Portage Avenue. On the right the tall building is the Garrick Hotel, with the small building farther down (which is still there as well) -- the Inglis Building (or Northwest Commercial Travellers Building) was built a year or two later on the site that in this image is occupied by the Angelus Cafe. In the distance one can see the tower of the Maltese Cross Building. The Bank of Nova Scotia appears to be complete at left (the white building) -- this suggests that the image dates from 1911 (plus or minus 1/2 year). The Valentine serial number is 107,228.

Printed on reverse: "The United Cafe, Brandon, Man., Canada "You ask me credit, I no give, You get mad, I give credit, You no pay, I get mad. Damn sign better you get mad."

Unused, printed in Great Britain. No publisher indicated but looks similar to a Valentine & Sons design.
