Looks heavily retouched. Townsfolk and car look fake. Not sure about the big banner sign on the building ... maybe just enhanced??

I suspect the Banner may have been real. here is a photo image of the building I found online (while trying to fin out where the heck Rideau Shoes was located). Banner is positioned differently but they could have also relocated it it on the building at some point. www.museevirtuel.ca/sgc-cms/histoires_de_chez_nous-community_memories/pm_v2.php?id=record_detail&fl=0&lg=Francais&ex=00000729&rd=201678 I can't find the image now, but this company is also featured on an early black & white Valentine card - #107,865
