One of the newest cars that can be seen in this postcard is a 1947 Chrysler, third car on the right.
In 1931 Israel and Morris Ginsberg sold the Snyder block to Bracebridge businessman G.W. Eccleston who opened a hardware store. It can be seen on the left.
In 1944 Stan Gibbs and Lloyd Chantler took over the grocery department of the Huntsville Trading Company. It can be seen to the right of Ecclestone Hardware. In April 1942, the Ginsbergs remodelled the front of their dry goods store, the Huntsville Trading Company, which was thereafter known as the log-front store. It is the store with the upper awnings on the left side of the road. In 1949, the Ginsgergs sold the Huntsville Trading Company to Mr. Harry Silvert.
The town hall with the clock tower was officially opened on July 1, 1927.
The Capitol Theatre to the left of the town hall was relocated to 8 Main Street West in the late 1940s. In 1952 the old Capitol Theatre became a bowling alley.
