Caughnawaga – Natural Kodachrome Vintage Postcard

This is a relatively modern postcard with the following text on the back: Caughnawaga: The Chief And His Tribe In “Roti-tsien-ha-len” Council.

This week I was working on some genealogy for someone who mentioned that one of their relatives had supposedly been an entertainer at the Chief Poking Fire Museum. Although this card does not mention the museum, I do wonder whether this was a souvenir that was sold there.

The Bellevue Casino On A Swizzle Stick

Bellevue Casino Swizzle Horizontal

As I’ve mentioned before, during the 1940s and 50s my parents often frequented nightspots that were part of Montreal’s heyday as the jazz and nightclub capital of Canada. As my mom would leave me with the babysitter she always promised to bring me back a swizzle stick! The words along the side of the swizzle stick read “Bellevue Casino Montreal Canada”.
