Satin Finish
I was running errands in the north end of the Weston neighbourhood of Toronto on the weekend and just caught a glimpse of the trees at the edge of this sign which is located high on a silo on the grounds of Satin Finish Hardwood Flooring. Of course I made a detour to get a better view and discovered that the company has been in business here for more than 90 years since 1922 and still operates from this same location and is still Canadian owned. And a whole flock of birds was coming in for a landing atop the structure which was pure luck!

Wow, the biggest tin in the World! Great capture!
That is just fun! Great idea.
Now that is such a great way to advertise Pat, brilliant spotting.
I like signs like this. They really catch your eye!
Brilliant idea. Great photo!
This is a sight to behold.
It's a good way of advertising.

That is a long time to be in business. They must do quality work.
nicely done.
That sure is a satin finish water tank! Huge!
Pat -- your timing is amazing to catch the birds as well as the great sign! What a lovely shot. Wonderful for a local firm to be in business that long in the same place.
You've got a photographer's eye...great composition! I've seen varnishes called Satin Finish but didn't know there was a company making hardwood floors called by that name. See, I learn something new from you just about every day!
Nice!
Now that is a sizable can of floor finish. Interesting.
what a huge tin as my friend from llandudno has already said.
and it has lights on it, so I assume it is illuminated at night? This is one part of the city I have never been to!
That's a huge can of varnish!
Neat capture!
You can't miss that sign.
oh now that is really cool, love it!
What a clever sign, and interesting story.
STILL Canadian owned? Amazing. ;)
A good way to advertize and not be obnoxious about it. I can think of many companies that only know how to do the latter.
I probably have seen the building before....
