Notation: I was drawn to the unusual "texture" of this image and a nice perspective on the Confederation Building. The Union Bank tower is on the right. I was curious about the Zam Buk sign on the far side of Main Street and learned that it was a patent medicine/ointment first produced in 1902 and advertised as being effective against a wide range of conditions. Interestingly, the product name has changed hands several times (and possibly formulation), but is currently (2016) produced and sold by Bayer.
