In 1965 the business was located at 4053 East Hastings Street, W. Bury only proprietor. The business appears to have closed between 1970 and 1975. The sign was probably leased by Neon Products Ltd. although it does not appear to bear their sticker. See reminiscence by Gord Cousins of watching televised prize fight in the window of Ray TV store in Doc. Spec file. |
