Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Tip re-Topped; A $1 million facelift of the Tip Top Tailor building on Lake Shore Blvd. means the old signs have to go. But because the 1929 building has been designated as historic; it will get an identical set of letter -- 8 feet tall -- in time for opening of the CNE. It's home to Tip Top parent; Dylex Ltd.
