Original Toronto Star caption: You think you have cleaning problems; Two's company but the more the merrier when you're given the chore of cleaning the outside of one of Toronto's glass-clad towers. This squad of window-cleaners shirts doffed in the bright sunshine; shows how to get the job done in a hurry as men and buckets hang suspended on ropes. The site of all the activity is at Adelaide St. and University Ave. in the heart of beautiful downtown Toronto.
