Ski Mask Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 here are some prints I got from a relative. these are all re-prints of old prints in the manitoba archives. They were used for some kind of history project at a school years ago, but I managed to snag them before they were destroyed after the school cleaned house. not much info on dates, but you can guess just by looking at most of them: Funeral Home Opening of the "Jefferson Highway" from new orleans to winnipeg. Post-War (the first one) demo house. Winnipeg Commodity Exchange Labor Organizer giving a speech during the 1919 general strike Old storefronts behind city hall The Union Bank Building under construction.
