Thank-you to the family of Orval Allen who provided me with these photographs. This is only a small sample of Orval's images in my library. Please contact me if you are looking for
something specific to this era.
Orval ran Progress Photo on 99st and then on Whyte Avenue.
Many of the photographs he took were used in postcards.
