I may have mentioned Peel's before. it's quicky become one of the best online resources for Western history. A fabulous resource.
One display they have created is a searchable database of postcards and photos of prairie towns and, yup, there are a couple of dozen of Brandon ranging from the 00s up to the 50s.
Fantastic stuff.

You can search via the "find images" section at the top. They also have some of Dauphin, Virden, Portage etc.
