Transcript of Handwritten Message:

 Wed. July 20/32
I suppose you heard all the news by now. I’m glad you are getting your share of rides(?). It is warm up here today. The tourist trade is not too good in Montreal yet I believe as it was last summer in spite of the exchange. Love from E.

  1. What a beautiful card! The pastel colors of the card are my favorites. And the sign outside the covered entry looks like it was a beacon for all those in Montreal, calling them in to enjoy a fine meal.

  2. Hi Evelyn, My daughter used to love to collect “old” postcards and had quite a collection. It’s like a snapshot into the past. Thank you so much for your visit. You’ve got such a fun and interesting blog!

  3. My Grandfather, Bill Croucher, used to run the Traymore, and My Dad used to work there as well. I was just having a look at this, as he passed away last week, at 87 years old. Nice to see!
