Description
Picture shows the grounds of Brantford business Ascolectric Limited in 1984, photographed for the City of Brantford Aesthetic Awards. The image depicts the exterior of the Ascolectric Limited building, situated on a large stretch of lawn dotted with shrubbery and containing a large Canadian flag mounted on a tall white pole. In the background of the photo, two cars are visible underneath a large sign reading "Sunset". This may be the sign for the former Sunset Drive-in Movie Theatre which operated in Brantford.
Notes
ABOUT THE AESTHETIC AWARDS:

The Brantford Aesthetic Awards were awards distributed by the Brantford Regional Chamber of Commerce from 1974 until at least 1998, though it is unclear when the awards stopped being given out.

The Aesthetic Awards are described in an accompanying note as, "[An] Award program... based on area businesses being judged on the aesthetic appeal of their operation. The Aesthetic Awards are sponsored by the Brantford Regional Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Economic Development Board and Parks and Recreation, with 1998 being the 24th year of the awards. A panel of judges visit each nominated business and evaluates their business on numerous criteria. Nominees are divided into three categories: Industrial A - over 100 employees, Industrial B - under 100 employees and Non Manufacturing/ Service. Winners are presented with their award, a framed photograph of their location at City Council in September."
