Hi, Earl Selkirk played for the Toronto Argos in the 30s and 40s and then coached and managed the team up to 1950. I believe he may have run for office, not sure which post, in Toronto. Also, I recently found out he DID own a men's clothing store in Toronto. The Selkirk family was of the Junction area in Toronto, so it does make sense that he would open his store close to home. I have not looked into the past owners of this particular space; however, I am assuming this was his store. - Carly (carlycanada@hotmail.com)
Thanks for your reply! and the information of course. The entrance to the store is certainly of that period in time. I'm glad you've solved another little mystery...
