Gus Pointon
Toronto Daily Star, January 22 1929
I'm not sure whether this is how Mr. Pointon's glasses actually looked in the photograph or whether they had been retouched.
I traced Mr. Pointon in the Toronto city directories and discovered that he was the chief of sanitation services for exactly a quarter of a century, as he is listed as such in the 1954 city directory. He doesn't appear in a couple of directories after 1954, but does appear in the 1959 directory without an occupation, so presumably he was retired. I didn't trace him after that.
