Toujours là en 2008, 60 ans plus tard. Still there in 2008, after 60 years.

La minoterie Ogilvie a hissé une première enseigne lumineuse sur le toit de son édifice en 1948. Le néon FARINE OGILVIE FLOUR est devenu, en 1954, FARINE FIVE ROSES FLOUR, auquel on a retranché le mot «FLOUR» après la Révolution tranquille. Il clignote sur Montréal depuis lors. (Source : Le Devoir, 19-10-2006).

In 1946, Ogilvie Flour Mills Co. Ltd. opened the New Royal Mill in Montréal. A photograph from 1948 shows the rooftop sign reading 'FARINE OGILVIE FLOUR' on three lines. In 1954, the sign was changed to 'FARINE FIVE ROSES FLOUR'. The English word 'FLOUR' was removed from the sign in 1977. (Source: saveoursigns.org, 2006).

Music: Yesterday's Ring "Fairy Tale Of Montreal" (2005).
