Canadian View Card Co. was based in Toronto, and was a prolific publisher of early Canadian patriotic postcards, as well as other early view cards.
That year (1907) the Grand Trunk Railway expanded their station at Muskoka Wharf in Gravenhurst to accommodate the greater volume of traffic transferring from their trains to the Navigation Company's steamers.
