These images captured over decades illustrate the destructive force of combustible dust fires and explosions.
A dust explosion or fire is one of the worst things that can happen to operations that handle or process powder and bulk solids. While standards and new technologies have been introduced over the decades to reduce the likelihood of a combustible dust event, operations continue to face the risk of these incidents. Cameras have captured the destructive force of dust explosions and fires since the mid-1800s. This visual evidence continues to serve as a reminder that the powder and bulk solids industry must be ever-vigilent to protect their facilities from dust-related blasts and fires.
Ashish had displayed mostly chartered banknotes and scripts, including the rare $3 and $4 banknotes. Ashish had been collecting Canadian and Mauritius banknotes for the last four years. In that four years, Ashish had invested lots of hours researching, learning and acquiring rare coins and banknotes of Canada and Mauritius. In the last couple of years, Ashish had done three coins and banknotes shows in the surrounding towns and he is not planning to stop soon. He wants to share his knowledge to more and more people and educate them about Canadian coins and paper money. Between 1871 and 1944, Canadian chartered banks were authorized to issue banknotes for circulation in Canada. For several decades thereafter, the chartered banks were the only issuers of larger denominated notes for circulation in Canada.

A few months ago, we looked at some long-gone neighborhood businesses whose owners lived among us. Today we look at even more favorite places, including some owned by people or corporations from beyond the Avenues.
Adeline Bake Shop A West Portal fixture (plus downtown locations) for fifty years. Owned by the Lembo family, living nearby on Wawona Street, Adeline had the best Danish pastry in the neighborhood, but their last shop closed in the late 1990s.
Bino s Northwest corner of 32nd Avenue and Noriega Street: Classic tablecloth-style “dinner house” restaurant, operated 1951-1981 by 30th Avenue residents Anita Bino and her husband Louis (formerly of Grison’s).
Stirling & Glasgow, Scotland. Est. 1878
That the stash is so well preserved is not surprising: Each bottle was sheathed in the original Old Smuggler tissue-paper, reading, “The Produce of the Heather Hills of Scotland,” then painstakingly cloaked in long, hardened sticks of straw. The bundles were stuffed with loose straw, then wrapped together in multiple, heavy layers of brown packaging paper. Like a cherished Christmas present, the bulky parcels are tied and knotted tightly, several times over and crossways, with sturdy white string.
The bottles were also fitted with what Drummond believes was an early version of a nonrefillable cap. A spirits expert at one of the auction houses Drummond consulted told him the cap was most likely created to prevent counterfeiters from using established brand labels and bottles.
