Dominion Stores Limited storefront photographs collection

  • ON00009 F 4598
  • Collection
  • [192-]-[197-], predominant 1939-1960

Fonds consists of storefront photographs of branches of the Dominion Stores Limited located across Ontario but not in the City of Toronto.

The fonds is primarily composed of photographic prints, some created from the original negative near the time of its creation, while others are reproductions printed from a copy negative of an earlier print. The impetus behind the creation of these images seems to have varied over time depending on the need of the moment.

The earliest images, consisting of the chain's smaller stores, seem to have been taken in 1939-1940 when they were considered for sale during Dominion's first re-organization. However, notes on the images state that these locations did not actually cease operations until 1957-1960. The larger downtown storefront locations seemed to have been shot in the late 1950s or early 1960s, possibly for reference purposes, by Dominion's property management office. The images of the urban supermarkets appear to have been taken in the mid to late 1960s during the stores' openings or shortly afterward. Several of the images seem to be proofs of advertising campaigns ("500 Lower Prices" and "Cut Food Costs" being the most notable) as the mix of locations all sport the same sales banner.

Patton also discusses his involvement in facilitating the purchase of 28 mm film projectors for every agricultural representative in Ontario, as well as his three month trip to England in 1930, where he made twenty films. In the interview, Bulman also discusses with Patton the content of an OMPB catalogue of films.
