Original Toronto Star caption: Bank high-ups look down on money; High up on the old Bank of Commerce building 16 heads (four each side) have gazed passively for 40 years. They were put there to symbolize the eternal vigilance of the financier looking out over the country. The heads; however; 24 feet high with beard; have weathered various monetary crises without batting an eyelid.
