If you like old Canadian postcards, this one is from 1910.

I think We are al right.

It is a view from prabably the smoke stack of the cement works(still under construction and in the background the town of Durham).

I have found a postcard in the VRL of the Toronto Library which shows the cement works from a different angle, but it does show the smoke stack. (Card by same maker in the same year although the building work seems to be completed)

Card shown is not shown for commercial purposes so allowed by vrl Toronto to be shared.

Judging by the format of the front of the card, I am wondering if the publisher was either "Warwick Bros. & Rutter", or, it was published by the "Detroit Publishing Company"?

Both are great cards

Both were printed by Warwick Bros and Rutter.

My card shows the name of the printer on the backside.

The Toronto library nmentions the name of the printer in their description.
