A sign notes the owner, T. Beale was crippled. Working at newsstands was one way to make a living for some that were physically disadvantaged.

Hi Gang,
Here is a new batch of foreign newsstand pictures for you. This update they are all from Vancouver, BC area of Canada.
Almost all of them from Jack Lindsay working for the Vancouver News-Herald. These might look a little stale but they are packed with comics! And they include a unique time in history when Canada passed the War Exchange Conservation Act law forbidding the importing of American comics among many other items which was effective August 1, 1944 until the end of WW2. The passing of that act gave birth to the Canadian Whites (comics published mostly with black and white interiors.) From 1941 to 1946 several Canadian titles could be found on the stands. You can see examples of many in pictures #1 through 8. After that you'll find American books back on the stands.
NOTE TO ANY GCD INDEXERS - I've found in my many hours hunting down the contents of these Vancouver pictures there are several titles that were listed on GCD without any dates or with 'circa' dates. I hope these pictures can help the GCD nail down more accurate publishing dates for these more obscure titles.
To read more about the Canadian Whites you can check out this website: "Beyond the Funnies: Canadian Golden Age of Comics, 1941-1946". Library and Archives Canada. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/comics/027002-8300-e.html.
NOTE 2 - when I couldn't find the exact Canadian issue, if it has a US original I will cite that issue.
