Touch Up Toronto #4: Vintage iPod Ad

For his entry to Touch Up Toronto, Alden R. Cudanin sent us this photo of the south side of College just east of Bathurst from about 1920, doctored to include the now-ubiquitous iPod ads. Of course, back then, in addition to billboard advertising, Apple also targeted the ever-growing praxinoscope-owning demographic, their ads featuring shadowed men and women dancing the Charleston to the latest Gershwin (or, occasionally, Daft Punk) joint.

Original photo from the City of Toronto Archives, Fonds 1244, f1244_ito340. Send your Touch Up Toronto entries to touchup@torontoist.com.
