Aikenhead's was one of Toronto's early merchants (established as an
ironmonger in 1830). In 1971 it was bought by Molson, who operated it until
1994, when it was sold to the Home Depot and became the Canadian unit of
that company.

Radio was huge in the late '20s, so being the pioneers that they always
were, they brought out a loarge assortment of parts and sets.
