Farmers use horses to bring loads of full length firewood to town to sell. The wood market was located on a corner of Rail Road Avenue opposite the Massey-Harris Farm Implements building where C. C. Sawatzky and Klass I. Dyck were agents. The large store to the right in photo was owned by H. P. Friesen and I. P. Friesen (of Rosthern), and was known as Friesen Brothers. Also operating one of the Rail Road Avenue stores were merchants Jacob Friesen and J. Hildebrandt.

Chopping wood

This photo is of three women and a small boy chopping wood. According to Anna Thiessen's "The City Mission of Winnipeg" page 47-48, they are identified as left to right: Mrs. Janzen with her son, Njuta Toews and Tina Friesen. Mrs. Janzen can be assumed to be part of the family which occupied the downstairs of the house, and the other two women among the residents of the Mary Martha Home.
