POSTCARD

Publisher / Photographer: Warwick Bro's & Rutter #448

Notation: This is an accurate representation of Devil's Gap. However, Warwick Bro's also published #449 in their series - an extremely exaggerated misrepresentation of the place - albeit much more in keeping with the site's rather colourful name.

POSTCARD

Date: Posted from Brandon, Manitoba on what appears to be September 1, 1905.

Publisher / Photographer: Johnson's Pharmacy, Rat Portage, ON. #1641

Notation: This is one of a set several full-colour Rat Portage cards that were published apparently prior to the towns name change (to "Kenora") in May of 1905. they do have a divided back so it is likely they were printed sometime between early 1904 and May of 1905.

POSTCARD

Date: Posted February 2, 1910.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: Thanks to Lori Nelson at the Lake of the Woods Museum in Kenora, I've learned that this small bandstand stood at the west end of Second Street South (at the corner of Water Street). The large building on the left is the Russell House, located on the southwest corner of Main and Second Streets.

Here is a close-up of the folks in the bandstand:

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: This building is the flour mill of the Lake of the Woods Milling Company Limited in Keewatin, Ontario. The mill was in operation from 1888 - 1967, marketing its product as Five Roses Flour. These tracks are running East towards Kenora. The Town of Keewatin lies across a small bay/channel just to the south (right) of the mill. The small building seen in the distance on the right side of the photo is the Keewatin railway station.

POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Not Posted.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: This picturesque photo image is of the Olmypia Gold Mine on Helldiver Bay, Shoal Lake, Ontario. The site is near the cabin where we spend our summers and I have visited it many times. Virtually all of the buildings are long gone, the forests have reclaimed the open spaces, and, apart from several open shafts, there is little evidence that anything of any significance ever took place there.

POSTCARD

Date: Not evident. Not Posted.

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified

Notation: Elephants and camels strolling on the road beside the park attached to the C.P.R. Station in Kenora, (Station is to the right of this picture.) It seems quite likely that the circus arrived by train, as a journey by road from the nearest sizeable town (Winnipeg) would have been over 100 miles of primitive roads through inhospitable terrain.

Note on reverse reads; "This is some of the circus that was here. I finished them up, and painted them myself too." Follow this link to see one of the photos that the photographer added (red) paint to: KN0372 KENORA - [CIRCUS ANIMALS - ELEPHANTS & CAMELS]
