Here's a cover I've posted before. Canceled on this day in 1929.




Interesting discussion when first posted.

Since then I've also found that the recipient John A. (Audley) Knox of Millbank Ont. passed away in 2009 at the age of 102. He ran an electrical business. Turns out his wife Cilica (died 2000) was the postmistress of Millbank operating out of their home until 1988 when the post office was moved to a local country market.

James, That is so cool! I appreciate your reposts because I'd never even know to look for the originals. Thanks!

I wonder if he was travelling on business and writing to his wife. Or maybe he is John, Jr. writing to his mother? I think about these kinds of things when I'm looking a my covers.

June 7, 1915, Portland OR






NW Bank has been taken over by Wells Fargo. Meier & Frank was a big department store that has been taken over by Macy's. Hotel Portland (building behind the government building) was torn down in 1951 to make space for a parking structure for Meier & Frank. (I hear Joni Mitchell singing.) In the 1970's the space was made into Pioneer Courthouse Square, pictured 'live' in the photo below.

Jun 9, New York, New York

wt1, you are right on target about W. Strohmeiers' address--- here's one to Mrs W. Strohmeier of 1324 8th St SE Minneapolis, the same address you found for him.

This address is about three miles from where my mother grew up so I wonder if Mr. Strohmeier was a friend of my grandfather's.

Stollwerck is still making chocolate in Europe.









Why do my images turn out so many different sizes?

June 12
A simple cover postmarked on this day in 1949. Sent to the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota FLA.
The school was founded in 1931 by circus magnate John Ringling.



A previous owner of this cover wrote the catalogue number nice and large in pen. Just so you couldn't overlook it.

June 14 1921, New York NY, Postmark slogan: 'Address your mail to street and number'

This sender tried to follow instructions but didn't quite know how because Walter lives 'Past 89th Street'

A cover with this stamp (Scott 1265) was posted last year by bfranton but the cachet on this one is different so I thought I'd post it. Today marks the 797th anniversary of the Magna Carta.
