I had noticed this old Reitmans billboard signage while waiting for one of very many red lights on the extra-traffic-filled Decarie Blvd.
From my highly limited Reitmans knowledge, there used to be a department store in this area in the 40's. I can't tell what is there now. The logo feels very art deco to me. I love how the angled end of the cross stroke of the "t" falls to the angled "a" and the wonky "s"...
... and here's today's logo for comparison.

that 's' is mental
that 's' is mental. I do prefer the old logo, I always thought the Reitman's logo looked liked a student project where you stretch the crossbar across the word or extend the tail of a "y" as an underline.
