Carberry sets new goal: Discover, Grow, Belong

This item, originally featured in last week’s edition of the paper, had been brought in by Leona Kucher via an Our Canada Magazine. Neither the person who had submitted it to the magazine, nor their friends or Kucher, had any answers for what the item was. However, It appears one has been swiftly found.

The popular guess appears to be a holder for a grain bag. Banner & Press reader Marshall Thompson provided this detailed reply: “There were 224 Canadian patents issued on December 7, 1920. No drawings or descriptions are available online for this time period, so a few guesses from the brief patent names are: 206311 Bag Holder, 206368 Strap Tightener & 206391 Support or Bracket For Decorative Objects.”

The Banner & Press extends its thanks to all those who aided in identifying the item.

The Town of Carberry was promoting the town and tourism at their booth at the Brandon Winter. Carberry has re-branded under the Discover, Grow Belong slogan and a new Chamber of Commerce Business Directory has been printed. Economic Development Officer, Karra Burney helped staff the booth along with help from various town reps.
