Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Two uniforms are in the wardrobe of Valerie Whelan: the one (left) she wears as a letter carrier on Finch Ave. E., and the other (right) for her job as a cocktail waitress in Scarborough on weekends. It's not the trays of drinks that make her biceps bulge, but the 15-pound mail bag, she complains.
