The Carling's Beer Store is quite something. I would guess it's late 1930s? The vehicles look like 1950s.

Speaking of Fire Station 1. It now has it's own facebook page with lots of old pictures.

1930s on James Street North in front of the Lister Block. This may have a march that progressed down King St. West ended in Victoria Park.

From The Journey from Tollgate to Parkway..."horses from a local bread company had been loaned to the Klan, and some spectators recognized them during the parade route through an Italian section of town. 'Given the Klans anti-Catholic views, the entire neighbourhood was incensed. The resulting boycott of the bread company drove it out of business a year later.'"
