Original Toronto Star caption: One way to attract customers; Eye-catching signs and storefronts are becoming common-place throughout Metro; but not one seems to match this particular store-front on Eglinton Ave. W. for sheer originality. Painted in bright mod colors; with surrealistic eye as the main attraction; the building houses the hair dressing salon known as Gerald and Lloyd and seems to attract a second look from even the most urbane Toronto citizen.
