The department store is Smith and Morgan's, on Notre Dame Street in Montreal. It was founded by Socts immigrants David Smith and Henry Morgan in 1845, which accounts for the centennial hoopla.
I looked this up before, and thought the same thing. But after reading about it here and here, how Smith had been bought out in 1850 (after just 5 years), I was wondering why his name would still be in there as it was renamed Henry Morgan & Company, and they moved in 1891. Unless it says "Smith and Morgan's" simply as part of the centennial sign...
I wish I could see a bigger version of that pic...
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol
