Description
A crowd lining up to enter Honest Ed's, on the southeast corner of Bloor Street West and Markham Street. The store often held “door crasher” sales, offering discounts on certain items to shoppers who arrived early. Store owner “Honest Ed” Mirvish dreamed up endless promotions and marketing events to lure customers.
