The Chas. J. Mitchell Co. Limited
The Chas. J. Mitchell Co. Limited was a postcard publisher in Toronto in the early part of the 20th century. A listing for Charles J. Mitchell & Co. at 2T Front Street West is found in The Toronto City Directory 1903 published by Might Directories Limited.
My earliest card is postmarked September 11, 1905, with a House of Assembly postmark. The cards come in variations of postcard backs, in some cases differenting in colour, in other cases, with changes in font for the "Canada Post Card" text.
Mike Smith has provided additional background on this publisher, thanks to the research of Roger Miller, in his contribution to Issue 99 of Postcard Times—the publication of the Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge Regional Post Card Club, noting that the material will be part of his forthcoming work on The Toronto Postcard Club Handbook of Canadian Postcards 1895–1945, due to be released in 2027.
Below, examples of postcard backs from this publisher.
