A clipping of a weekly series from "The Sun" newspaper called "Those Were The Days". The series was written by Jim Greenblat as he reminisces on the past of Swift Current.
This particular article is from 27 June 1969. It talks about the Imperial Hotel with the front part finished and the lone Swift Current restaurant, run by Lee Chang, all in 1903. The article also discusses William Brunyee, Totoe, the radio broadcast of the first "bearded" celebration, buffalo related stuff in 1887, and the massacre-that-could-have-been in Swift Current in 1885. It then looks at the CPR's original station location which was farther East, but moved to its present day location due to squatters taking the land first, as well as a trail (likely at the Landing) which was inspired by an old Aboriginal woman.
