Heya FrankRoberts, I for one am enjoying your Yonge street series. Thank you! I hope you don't mind. This doorway was actually on the Yonge street side.

The company names on that door... 'Kruger paper' still exists.

Mustapha, No problem, if I had this larger photo of 302 Yonge St. to work with then my "Now" photo would have been more accurate.

The company names on that door... 'Kruger paper' is still exists.

Mustapha, those old store signs are treasures to behold.

It's particularly pleasing to find that some have been preserved.

Let's wish good luck to "Cut-Rate Drugs."

I immediately recalled this "Black Cat" sign on a Dundas St W. storefront.

The current owner recognized a useful name for his gallery, Black Cat Artspace.

At first, I thought the sign may have represented a one-time tobacconist (Black Cat Cigarettes.)

However, the owner told me that the store was once a shoe-repair shop and the product was Black Cat Shoe Polish.

Only now, upon enlarging the photo, did I find that my guess was correct -- imagine that!

The leaded glass certainly adds an air of distinction.

There was/is the Bromo-Seltzer, upper windows sign, on the S/E corner of Davenport & Christie.
