Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Tip re-Topped; A $1 million facelift of the Tip Top Tailor building on Lake Shore Blvd. means the old signs have to go. But because the 1929 building has been designated as historic; it will get an identical set of letters - 8 feet tall - in time for opening of the CNE.
