Today's postcard is a picture of the Parliament Buildings in Victoria, B.C. The message is this: "Baker and I just returned to Harrison. We have been to Victoria for a couple of days to see about my storage, to be shipped to Banff, where that will be my next stop. Tom wants me to buy another Motel but I am not too well and feel I shouldn't. Just taking it easy these days. Love J." How intriguing. Checking the storage of what? Moving from Victoria to Banff for what? Buying another Motel? Who is this... an early Canadian version of Donald Trump. Who buys Motels? What a mystery. The card is undated, but the stamp is a Canadian 4 cent, which was made in 1963. The stamp is worth 15 cents today. I cannot find information on why the stamp included a "tower" in the corner, but the 1cent featured mineral crystal; the 2 cent a pine tree; the 3 cent a fish and the 5 cent wheat...so I am guessing they represent industry in Canada - the tower
