Tom the backroads traveller hosts this weekly meme.
September 2025 - Toronto ON
This Tip Top Tailors ad is really two ghosts signs in one, although the fainter yellow sign is very difficult to discern. The company, which is still operating today, was founded in 1909 by David Dunkelman, a Jewish immigrant from Poland. Dunkelman started his first store at 245 Yonge St., selling tailored suits for $14.
I'm not sure if Tip Top ever occupied this building or just placed its ad there.
Tip Top Tailors founded in 1909, famous for its beautiful Art Deco - The Tip Top Tailors Building, now known as the 'Tip Top Lofts' is a former 1920s industrial building converted to condominium lofts in Toronto.
