PART THREE - Scott Bonnar's Bloor CourtWhen
Mr Scott Bonnar moved a block north in mid-1917, he settled at new Premises in
Bloor Court,
off
Currie Street. Some advertising records referred to as the premises as simply 'S. Bonnar',
or the 'S. Bonnar Factory', or 'S. Bonnar's Machine Works' and later, 'Bonnar's Engineering Works'.
At this time Scott Bonnar acquired his first business
phone number,
Central 1152.
Just like at Young Street, the location was a smaller street off a main street. The address was
sometimes given as 'S. Bonnar, Bloor-Court, Off Currie Street'. More often, the advertising would
reflect a landmark. At Young Street it was 'Next Detmold's'. Here, it would be 'opp. Chas. Atkins'.

The landmark
Charles Atkins building is labelled as "1" on my map. It is, pretty much, directly
opposite the entrance to Bloor Court.
