A note re this unused postcard – a Canadian Pacific card showing “Alex Robert McPherson, Sleeping Car Conductor, Vancouver”. The description below reads: “This sleeping car conductor serves on the Canadian Pacific Railway’s “Dominion” between Vancouver and Calgary. he is responsible for sleeping car fares, conduct of porter, and everything connected with the sleeping car’s operations. During the summer when traffic through the Rockies is particularly heavy, he may have as many as twelve cars to supervise. Despite his duties, he always has time to answer his passengers’ queries or explain the scenic highlights of his territory. Passengers appreciate this extra service.”  Courtesy Simon Fraser University Library, Philip Francis Postcard Collection: MsC216-1783
