Notes
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]
