This photograph is interesting to me because it looks like somebody at the paper drew in his glasses by hand.
Out of curiosity, I traced I. E. Francis in the Toronto city directories. He was almost certainly Isaac E. Francis, who worked at Elias Rogers (the coal people) in a variety of jobs from 1933 to 1957. He last appears in the 1957 directory - I couldn't find him, or a mention of a widow, in 1958.
