Cropped 61 Canadian Northern postmarked 1920

Postcard Collection

The Lakehead was the world's largest grain port for the better part of the 1900s. With distinction came a vast interest in our port, so much so that the majority of postcards printed and sent by visitors in those early days featured grain elevators.

Over the years, FOGE has been collecting these postcards. Thank you, eBay. Cards have come back home from all around North America and beyond. You will see them posted here regularly.
