I was browsing the Audels guides some more and came across that Loblaw's receipt* stuck between pages 218 and 219 in the discussion on inserted tooth circular saw blades.
This particular Loblaw's was located at 1877 Eglinton Ave. W.. I wondered if it was still there?

The small Loblaws stores which were common in the '30s to '50s seemed to have a common look to them. If you remove the Dynevor signage from the building, and then compare the de-signed structure to the next photo of the Loblaw's at Bathurst and Glencairn in the '50s you can see that the basic features are similar.

*The receipt is printed on paper that is surprisingly heavy weight and feels almost like cardboard.
Too much ink needed to print the year? Or was it a lack of technology!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they assumed any returns or complaints would be done within a few days, so they didn't think the year was necessary, thereby simplifying the machine?
DeleteReminds me of Bob Loblaw's Law Blog from "Arrested Development".
