A familiar landmark for those travelling to or from the west, looking north across Western Avenue, a short distance east of the Hoover building. The central tower frequently forms a pedestal for unusual items, lifted on my a crane. One of the most unusual has been a single deck bus.
Clearly, Peerless was once a thriving town. It has several grain elevators. A big restaurant. Churches. A good size school. The problem is that when I was there most of those things seemed empty--abandoned, even. The church was overgrown. The school was clearly empty at a time when school should still have been in session. One of the elevators is falling down (though the others seem used). The big restaurant was listed for sale and seemed totally devoid of life. And there were far more abandoned homes than ones that are lived in. Peerless was very very quiet. I had to wonder what happened here, that so many people left? This place used to have plenty of amenities. But when I was there the only activity I saw was a tumbleweed blowing across main street.
"Peerless was originally a development of the Great Northern Railroad. It appears that Peerless once went by the name of Tande or Battleson, but because of the popularity of a local beer the name was changed to Peerless...Dutch Henry's Bar...is a namesake of an outlaw who roamed these parts in the late 1800s. A display of photos on the walls tells quite a bit about the history of the surrounding area. The original town, settled in 1914, was a few miles away. Like many other places in northeast Montana, the laying of the railroad bed required the town to be moved to the railroad." -travelmt.com
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by Arthur Squibbs, Photographer. The card has a divided back, and the image is a glossy real photograph.
Arthur is recorded as operating from Warren Street, Tenby from 1906 until 1926. He also ran a studio in Water Street, Pembroke Dock until 1926, and 50, Charles Street Milford Haven from 1914 until 1923.
The Peerless Hotel
The Peerless Hotel was a nineteenth century Grade II listed building in Tenby High Street which was named after its owner Albert Peerless.
Although the building is still there, it has been split into flats with a shop below, and is known as Beachtop Court.

Just about everything has left this strip mall near Waverly and Saginaw in west Lansing, MI. It's clear to see that the sign for the Peerless Mattress & Furniture Co. has left it's mark on the former storefront.

Sandstones in the Cambrian of Colorado, USA.
The dark-colored unit in the upper part of the photo is the Peerless Formation, which here consists of dark reddish quartzose sandstones with dolomite. The lighter-colored unit in the lower part of the picture is the Sawatch Sandstone, which is mostly quartz, with a minor potassium feldspar component. Bleached Sawatch looks like a quartz arenite. A basal lag with pebbles occurs at the base of the Sawatch, which nonconformably overlies the Pikes Peak Granite (1.08 billion years old). Both the Peerless and Sawatch are shallow marine units of Late Cambrian age.

I took this photo in May 2006 through a gap in the security fencing around the construction site.
NOTES:
The Geiser Manufacturing Co, Waynesboro, PA (Pennsylvanie)
Geiser a fabriqué des moteurs à essence, il y a eu un autre constructeur (Cleveland, Ohio) qui produisit des véhicules nommés Peerless, les deux entreprises ne semblent pas liées.

This reel room with all its leftover equipment was left behind in the recreation center when the asylum it was in closed down in the late 1970s. Interestingly, a part of the campus was still being used when I took this shot, but they never moved any equipment over to it. I guess it was too much trouble. These buildings no longer stand, sadly. © 2013-Current.
