Original Toronto Star caption: "Danforth goes parisian-sidewalk business
brisk. In protest against fruit stores, which they allege, clutter up the
sidewalks with their wares to the detriment of other merchants, members of the
Danforth Business Men's Association, east section, went completely Montmartre
to-day and moved their merchandise right out on to the sidewalks. From
Greenwood Ave. E., you can buy anything from a shave to a casket without going
inside a shop. The boys are lunching in the open and fighting over bargains
under the awnings. These photographs give you the situation. (1) Some of the
lads call at a cafe for "dejeuner." Overcoats are "de
rigueur." [Incomplete]
