Columbus Ontario Canada Main Street West 1910 Real Photo Postcard

Columbus, Ontario, as depicted here on Main Street West, was a small rural community in the early 20th century, prior to its amalgamation into the city of Oshawa. The prominent general store, identifiable by its Salada Tea advertisement which was widely popular after 1892, served as a vital hub for local residents, providing essential goods, postal services, and a central gathering point in a time before widespread chain retailers.
