Notes
Written on the back: "The Bulkley Hotel Smithers B.C. Don't you think we have some fine automobiles in Smithers. Hetty." (Ethel Barwise)
P1502 is the same photo but with writing across the front. Its caption identifies this scene as a reception for W.J. Bowser.
Ellen Coyle Myton (daughter of Joseph Coyle) stated in an oral history interview (2021.21.31) that the cars in this photo were the first ones in Smithers, and that she and Muriel Adams (daughter of J. Mason Adams) are in one of the cars.
Negative copy also available.
