Here's what you would see if you went to the grocery store in Toronto #OnThisDay 100 years ago. These photos were taken in Arnold's Parkdale Market at 1471 Queen Street West, an up-to-date shop beginning to adopt the new supermarket model where shoppers served themselves produce instead of requesting it from a clerk behind a counter. 1. The clerk's space behind the produce counter. Globe and Mail Fonds 1266, Item 7618. 2.. Interior of the store, showing a self-serve counter. Globe and Mail Fonds 1266, Item 7615. 3. The fish counter. Globe and Mail Fonds 1266, Item 7619. 4. The cooked meat counter. Globe and Mail Fonds 1266, Item 7620. #Parkdale #Supermarket #TOHistory #TorontoArchives #OTD
