Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The Big picture and the real thing. A billboard on Lake shore Blvd.; near parliament St.; portraying the attributes of the Oldsmobile Cutiass isn't to be outdone by the real thing - a trainload of cars travelling the same way; due west; to walting customers. Although not all the real cars are from GM; maybe it does pay to advertise.
