Calgary’s Board of Trade made public a letter from foresighted Donald Hughes of Miami, Fla. He would soon be visiting Calgary, Banff and Lake Louise, he wrote. He was enclosing a check for $5, and he wanted some postcards with views of Calgary and the mountains. “I will address them before I leave and then will just have to put stamps on them and mail them when I’m on my holiday.” That would give him more time to “really see Canada. … I did this last year when I went to Quebec and it worked out just dandy.” The tourist-conscious Board of Trade obliged.
