Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Long wait: Waiting to sell or to buy; gold customers face long lineups at Queen St. W. shop. Those who want to sell silver are out of luck; however; as Metro-area refineries have stopped buying the precious metal because their stocks are so high. The silver glut has been blamed by Charlton's president for $40;000 in NSF cheques sent out by the firm to people from whom it had bought sterling silver articles to be melted down.
