Carnival of Postcards - Locomotion on water
Treasure Island is an island within the island of Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. According to answers.com
Although, I have never travelled to Treasure Island, I do have post cards and photographs in my collection of this island.
In 1948, my mother received a postcard from a friend who had stayed at the resort on Treasure Island. The photograph shows the means of transportation - thus my entry into this carnival of postcards on locomotion.
On the back note the 3 cent stamp and the incomplete address only giving the location not the house address. Note the comment in the upper right hand corner saying Betty had met someone who had gone to school with my mother.
The sign says

Wordless Wednesday (almost) - Some of the Iles family 1924
This 1924 photo is of the Iles family
Back Row: William Iles with son Cliff in his arms, Ivy Iles, Emily Lily Iles, May Iles, and Daisy Iles
Front Row: Bob Iles (my dad), Wilfred Iles and Clarence Iles.
Clarence is wearing a uniform. Is it a Salvation Army uniform or of the city band? There is an emblem on the top of the hat.
The original of this photo is with my cousin, Susanne Iles. Her brother, Darren Iles fixed up the digital image for me. Thank you to both of them.
