Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Far above the Madding Crowd; Construction work can be heady business . . . and cold too. Ironworker Harvey Winters can testify to that. The Bank of Montreal office floor he's working on at King St. is higher than any in Toronto; and colder too; when the wind factor plunged temperatures to a chilling 20 below earlier this week. Building will be 72 storeys.
