ceived one which was a long time
in coming. This card was sent
by Msf. W. C. Laidlaw, Blyth
now a resident oe Wingham. more
than 25 years ago, to Mrs, Tough
when she was a resident of Bay-
field.
During the years it has travel-
led many miles including a trip
to Argentina as is plainly post

Mrs. Tough in,' Bayfield, it was
sent to Brucefield and later to

The card was one popular in
the day it was sent when Clmist-

the lovely ones sent to today.
The card had -two. ane-eent
stamps postage on at bearing the
