Frederickson & Green had a garage on 12th ave, mid 1920's behind Duncan's store on 4th st. (Whitby Hardware, 1960's, today Royal Bank, 2017)
Duncan's Garage above, at #322 12th ave. fits the location. see 12th Ave page Note sign says Frederickson with an e, but directory said no e. Have to believe his sign would be accurate. I bet they bought the garage from Duncan.
