Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: A little old-fashioned muscle; Each one of those hefty-but idle-machines in the background can handle up to three tons at the touch of a fingertip. But they are no help to worker Franco Belfiore; who wheels his wheelbarrow-by personal muscle power-across the display lot of American Hoist of Canada Ltd.; on Heart Lake Rd.; in Brampton. Worker Belfiore is engaged on an adjacent-but separate-municipal water main job.
