Original Toronto Star caption: Scrambling for homes that went on sale this morning in the Bramalea development; hopeful buyers wait patiently in line in front of sales office today. First families began queuing up about noon on Friday; and they kept a careful list of where everyone stood in the line. Though only 41 houses were being offered for sale; there were 50 buyers standing in line when sales office opened its doors.
