Stedman Bros., no. 1306 posted at Edmonton on Aug. 31 of an unclear year to Mrs. R. Thompson, 71 Post St., Rochester, N.Y.

"Dear Mother, We have had nothing but rain and still it looks like more. The people are all going to the farm in a auto but mother and I. I hope you had a good time at the cottage. Labor Day they are not even going to have a parade here. I think they are slow. Mildred"

Hopefully Mildred's mother sent back a bit of a pep talk.

I've had this one for a long time but just happened to come across it for the first time in a long while. Note that, although it's a Stedman card (with Stedman being described as "Brantford & Winnipeg"), the framed view is one of the Pugh "1000" series (# 1000/14), evidently cut from a sheet of reductions of those cards as you can see another card's title along the bottom of this image: "C.P.R. Station and Hotel, Winnipeg, Man." (that card, which I have, is no. 23). In fact, you can see how they've made the reductions: they've placed cards side by side and photographed them from above (the lower right corner of the inset card here touches the corners of three other cards at the extreme lower right of the inset).

Smith's Stedman book does list a pennant card of Winnipeg in this series, but the image is of Portage & Main, looking west. It looks like a Stedman image rather than another image from this Pugh series.

I also have this one in the series, which doesn't seem to be a Pugh card either -- looks like a RPPC from someone else: www.ipernity.com/doc/wintorbos/23124689//in/album/447203

Postmarked August 31, 1912 to Miss A. Grindell of Everton, Ont., with an enthusiastic message as follows: "Dear Aunt Annie: I had a fine time in "the Soo. The Corrie's and Campbell's were *very* nice to me. I had a splendid little trip down there to-day. Everyone on the boat was so nice I wanted to stay right on it. I have a boarding-house for the present anyway. I think I shall like the town. Winnie."

The card was published by J. A. McLarty of Thessalon with the number J. M. 2649. McLarty's Drug Store is visible on the left side of the street.

It looks like this a Stedman card but that is not stated. It is included in Smith's Stedman guide, however, so there can be little doubt that it's by Stedman.
