Vintage Toronto Ads: Re-Discover Old Dutch Cleanser!
Mrs. Bishop found so many uses for Old Dutch cleanser that she spent a little too much time inhaling the fragrant cleaning product. That the Old Dutch girl is running off the can is not a touch of artistic whimsy; it’s the first symptom of the hallucinations Mrs. Bishop experienced three hours into her cleaning chores. We hope that the cleanser’s mascot didn’t slip on the freshly scrubbed floor in her haste to hug Mrs. Bishop.
We also suspect that Mrs. Bishop and her lovely home were invented by the ad writer. We flipped through our bedside copy of MapArt’s Toronto & Area street atlas and couldn’t find any road in the GTA named “The Oaks.” Google Maps points us to Four Oaks Gate, a residential street near Don Mills Road and O’Connor. The closest current address we could find is an apartment in the Bain Co-op complex (known as Riverdale Courts when this ad was published). If this ad was reaching out to one of Canada’s earliest social housing complexes, we applaud Old Dutch, but we suspect Mrs. Bishop was living in a tonier neighbourhood. Cool. And I love the local connection to the Junction Triangle.
Here's another nearby Old Dutch connection: There's a ghost sign (faded painted advertisement) on the side of a building on Dupont St., just west of Perth Ave. Actually, two ads one on top of the other, for Monarch Flour and Old Dutch. I didn't realize Old Dutch was so local. Here's a photo:

Aside: Just east of that sign are a couple of ghost signs for Cowan's Cocoa, which is now, of course, the Nestle Factory just a bit south on Sterling Rd.
I mentioned these in my Jane's Walk a couple of weeks back.
