2 New (To Me) Canadian Covers

Nice FDI

Nice covers, Jeff.
I wondered if Roger Newberry was a dealer, because of his stationary. A google search turned up his application request to the British North America Philatelic Society in their August 1946 issue of BNA Topics, their quarterly magazine.



And an ad he placed in the 1951 Yearbook edition of Topics.



So I guess the answer is a) yes he was accepted into BNAPS and b) yes he was a dealer.

I_Love_Stamps: thanks for the Goderich postmark. Goderich, whose beautiful town-centre was recently ripped apart by a tornado, is located where the Maitland River empties into Lake Huron. Deep underground at this location are the Sifto salt mines. As a youngster I had the opportunity to ride on transport trucks that would go to the grain elevator located on the lake shore where "we" would load grain that "we" would take inland to small-town mills.

Wow neat! James it's most probable that he was. I have some stuff to send you also! You'll like it.

I noticed on both covers that they are addressed to the "Pere Marquette Building", which is now the Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel". The marquette family was big in the shipping and transportation business.

I have scanned a page from from ship collection of postcards and covers to show an example of the freighter "Pere Marquette".

Chimo

Bujutsu

Jeff, you do spoil me, sir!

As for Cynicals remarks re: Goderich. I was there a day or so after the tornado last year and toured the site (took pics, which don't do justice to the damage)
A good friend of mine was selling in the flea market which was being held in the town square, one of hardest hit areas. She had left literally minutes before the twister touched down. Needless to say, a good deal of vino was consumed that weekend, and lots of consoling.
