March 2, 1956: "On top of the heap, it might be said, is Arthur Tongue, commissionaire guarding the $64,000 - there it is, in neat bundles - which Macdonald's Furniture Ltd. is using as an advertising stunt in its current sale. The little mountain of $5 bills is displayed in the store window daily, under commissionaire guard. "You can have anything in the store," said proprietor Lew Macdonald, "but hands off the currency." - (Colonist photo by Jim Ryan)" #TBT #beacommissionaire #joincviy #thesecurityprofessionals Commissionaires Viy
