But, for the life of us, we can’t think of it at the minute, as this message from Yonge Street’s Busi- ness and Profession- al Association mem- bers is being written. Butfnnn“A”t0“Y” - that’s a different story. It’s safe to say that the list of goods and services begin- ning with those let- ters - and the ones in between - runs into thousands. Before shopping elsewhere, why not see what Yonge St. in Richmond Hill has to offer? The members of its business group are YOUR neighbors - men and women with a stake in YOU with a stake in YOUR community - people who help to carry the load of lo- cal activites. They will welcome the op- portunity to serve you. Just think of a few - amusements - cars - dresses - typewriters - hardware - grocer- ies - professional ser- vices s furniture - travel services - the list is endless. QAN'T THINK OF And the beauty of the situation, from the Shopper’s point of view, is that there is no need to travel miles from one place to another to find those goods and ser- vices - at prices that are RIGHT. The 107 business and profes- sionalestablish- ments on Yonge St. in the Hill are reas- onably close togeth- er. They form a “shopping centre” that offers quality - price - selection - all that goes to make real value. Published By Ihe Yonge Street Business \\ 'fifv’ I!
