Isn’t that something, Marcus? Hard to believe that was once what Owen Sound looked like. The guy on the extreme left is holding what appears to be a 4×5 Super Graphic camera. That helps date the pic, along with that beautiful steam engine and all the rest of it.

Great shot. Looks like an old Studebaker in the scene. It might have been made in Hamilton.
