Photographer Rex Lingford signed this negative RL. He arrived in the Shuswap in the spring of 1909, set up shop above McGuire Hall, and painted a sign on the roof that could be seen from the water. He took advantage of a great marketing opportunity and caught the eyes of passengers travelling by paddlewheel.
