Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- The business-listing page reads "Metropolitan Motors Ltd S E Coon pres, Gordon F Ponceby sec-treas motor sales 895 Millwood rd (Leas)."
- The street-directory page under Airdrie Rd lists "287 Ponceby Gordon HU 1-0660."
- This is the first Toronto directory hit found in the 1955-1960 public directory pass; no separate alphabetical Ponceby resident entry was found in the 1955 OCR text.
