These are Canadian cardboard signs from the 50's. The "Add Zest" sign is paper. I really like these signs because they are very colourful. There is an english version of the french sign but I haven't found one yet. Again sorry for the bad photography. I really should take pictures of my signs before I frame them.

Yes, those Canadians a very colorful characters, don't ya know. Hey Bill, can you tell me when Coca-Cola was first introduced in Canada and what is your earliest Canadian item? Thanks, Ray
Coca-Cola was first introduced in Canada in 1906. My oldest Canadian piece is probably a newspaper ad from 1911. Or it could be the straight-sided bottles from that same time period.
Beautiful!
