Last week we presented a story of York Lake which featured a picture of the lake and some recreational events of the long ago — over a hundred years — since York Lake was a leisure time destination of the very early settlers. We had found a short story of the Yorkton Auto Club members who organized dances and other events there. Some years ago we already published a picture of the Auto Club lined up on Broadway Street, but are reprinting it now for those who did not see it. The date of the photo is believed to be 1909 but it may be around 1913 or 1914. The buildings have not changed that much. We see the Dunlop Block on the left and the two banks on the extreme right — corner of Third Ave. North, —first the Bank of Toronto, and across the street the Union Bank which became the Royal Bank.
