The Saga of Elsie and Elmer

Elsie and Elmer

The Montreal Gazette reports today that two huge, lifelike cow heads – remnants of a 1950s 3D billboard on Sherbrooke St West in NDG – are under imminent threat of loss.

UPDATE (10/9/08): I thought I came off sounding like a humourless (and unhelpful) old grump in Harrold’s Gazette article, so I actually contacted Parmalat to offer to take the cows. A very nice representative from Edelman Canada, Parmalat’s PR agency, wrote back to say: “the company still wishes to keep the signs at this time for future use, but wanted us to pass along the company’s thanks and appreciation for your offer and interest.” Moo.
