The Human Fly visits Hamilton

Posted by Dee's Postcards on

Hamilton Ontario Peace Day Human Fly Climbing Building Ellis RPPC PostcardThe Human Fly (Harry Gardiner) climbing the Bank of Hamilton Building in Hamilton Ontario, Peace Day Celebrations, November 11th, 1918. 

While climbing, Gardiner supposedly stuck his head into a Bank of Hamilton office and signed some insurance papers. This may have just been a public relations moment as he was always trying and never (or rarely) succeeding in acquiring life insurance.    ~ DL
