Oriental Limited Postcard Folder

The photos in this folder follow the route of the Oriental Limited from St. Paul to Seattle. It is dated 1906, or one year after Great Northern inaugurated the train. Published by C.H. Shaver, a news agency in St. Paul, it was no doubt sold in Great Northern train stations.

Attracting settlers was as if not more important than attracting tourists in 1906. Nearly half of the photos in this folder show farming, logging, and other natural resources.
