Sweet Caporal Cigarettes sign, a similar one was in Medicine Hat here:

This was the company that produced the famed Honus Wagner baseball card . Sweet Caporal cigarettes in 1915 pulled its Honus Wagner card from the market after the slugger complained he didn't want kids to see him associated with tobacco products. (Revisionist theory says the penny-pinching Wagner was upset for not being compensated for his photo's use). The set's Wagner card is one of the most desirable pre-war cards on the market today, and one recently sold for $2.8 million.
Compare this picture to one from Stellarton (cica WW1) on:
