Title

Dividing line on the ice bridge / Niagara Falls in Winter

Description

a copy of a stereo image view no. 5016

en-CA The different hotel proprietors on the centre of the bridge were doing a rushing business Sunday. Hot coffee and wienerwurst went like hotcakes and cold tea. The photographers are having quite a harvest. Our alderman grinds them out as fast as his camera will admit. Monday a green Canadian couple were photographed. After the photo was finished and handed to the couple from the country the girl sized it up and after turning it over several times asked the artist if he was sure the ice on the picture wouldn't melt before they reached home.
