Where can I buy Lifebuoy Soap today (the orange-coloured one)? Has it been discontinued?

Apparently the version containing phenol is still being produced in Cyprus and in Trinidad ... or you can order it online from a guy who once worked with the Beatles.

Thanks, lemur, for that link to the UK importer.
Too bad it's not easily available in Toronto stores.
I once loved that stuff!

The Pure Soap people have a carbolic soap that isn't too far off Life Buoy. I enjoy the coal tar soap, myself. I get it from a store near Dufferin and Eglinton, but I think I've seen it down at the St. Lawrence Market.

That is very cool. Richard Langham! Wow.
Some more info about Langham and his Beatles connection here: http://www.examiner.com/article/int...r-richard-langham-on-working-with-the-beatles

Colgate-Palmolive Canada, Colgate Ave., n.w. corner Carlaw Ave
That's a magnificent photo of a factory production line. Thanks to thedeepend.
I immediately thought of other industrial photos I've seen such as this image of another all-women group.
This is the GECO munitions plant in Scarborough (1942) where the products are certainly not soap!
P.S. The reproduction is unsharp only because it's an enlargement of a small internet file.

I just love those old multi-pipe steam rads, Jenkins valves, and Webster steam traps!
Just keep the pressure low and run continuous; no steam hammer and kindly heating.

"Pinehurst", west side of McCaul, north of Grange Road, 1864:

These pictures are some of the oldest taken in Toronto, reminiscent of this pic taken in Toronto in 1859, now in the McCord Museum collection:

The long exposures they had in the 19th century had a way of making everybody look spooky.

Well, one of these buildings is still standing, as the Hasty Market at Simcoe & Elm.

Lower left hand corner. I had no idea about the Erskine church (very reminiscent of the Metropolitan Church on Queen)! Later Goad maps show the houses at the corner of the Avenue (seen below) replaced by a public school, as seen in your pic. Interesting the pedestrian safety posts across College (University) Avenue.
