        Photo Specialty Co., Ltd. was a company who produced Real Photo Post Cards (RPPCs) from about 1910 until the mid-20th Century. They were based out of Streetsville, Ontario, and claimed to have agents "for film development and enlargement" situated all over the province. Certainly their impressive output reflected a commitment to constant travel, as their highly-collectible RPPCs depict scenes from communities large and small around Ontario and beyond. These postcards were sold at the Fogarty's store in Churchville, where the Post Office was also convenienty located.

         The close proximity of Streetsville to Churchville resulted in the production of a surprising number of postcards depicting life in the village and surrounding area. Over the years I have managed to acquire a few of the actual postcards. You can see eight below that depict Churchville and six that depict Eldorado Park. Given that I have Bird's Eye View 2 but not 1, I believe that more cards were produced which haven't surfaced yet. If you happen to own or have a scan of any others, please reach out so that I might display a complete collection on this page.
