The S/E corner of Bay and Edwards in 1923.
Note the billboard for Sellers Gough Furs. This company is still in business with a shop in Yorkville.
A few changes here....

This stand on the S/E corner of College and Bathurst sells the Star.
This one on the N/E corner sells the Telegram. Note the very modern Art Deco drug store facade.

Warburton Ford on Manning/Then and Now

Warburton Ford on Manning just north of Bloor in the late 1940's. That's a great sign.
The Monarch brand was exclusive to Canada and really just a lower priced Mercury.
