Or it was never posted. It reports the arrival of 90 pieces of 21" concrete pipe, apparently weighing 30,800 pounds, at the station at Carp. The consignee is a civil engineer in Renfrew, 39 miles away. That's a big order, so the consignee probably was watching for it. The card could have been filled out but never sent because the consignee showed up at the depot the same day. Or maybe the agent had second thoughts and telephoned instead. He would have wanted those carloads out of there ...

NICE! It is Webb's GTR19J with a 2001 catalog of $100. This was one a series of cards promoting travel on the railroad to vacation spots. The fact it is not cancelled is not unusual. They were often delivered without a postmark.
