• Notes

  Arriving at the four corners of Water Street crossing, we quite naturally look for the old Waterloo House, where now stands the Bank of Montreal, the old hardware store of James Warnock, and the dry goods store of Frederick Guggisberg [James was a clerk for Guggisberg], afterward the firm of Woods and Taylor; and for the drug store of W. H. Lutz, where the Bank of Toronto now stands. Again we look for the old Gillespie drygoods store now occupied by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and lastly for the Wilkins' clothing store, supplanted by the Imperial Bank. It is rather difficult in the dim darkness of these four unlighted money shrines to determine the wonderful change that has been accom- plished at these ancient four corners.
