Who doesn't Remember This
In our world as kids in Verdun we saw these trucks everywhere and of course every corner store had a sign outside welcoming you to come in and drink a Kik Cola

KiK signs were everywhere also a brand called Corona seemed to work out of the KiK company it was btwn Bannatyne and Verdun av facing the entrance to the tunnel almost quite close to the waterworks property on St Joseph maybe .another sign seen alot in Verdun was IT shoe polish sign and Black Cat cigarettes
I remember that KIK COLA Plant it was a small place I think that was maybe on Atwater ,I don't know for sure but since it did run from Verun Av (not far from where Lasalle blvd met up on the angle near Verdun Av, and Bannatyne then Joseph. You were right the Montreal Waterworks was on Joseph and it had little hills on the property were actually the berm earth sides to the Acqueduct that would provide a place where people could take there kids to slide on after a snowstorm. You would see all the kids and slides and tobogans having a ball . If you took the 108 Bannatyne Bus from in front of the Forum where the bus terminus was or the 107 which ran along Verdun Av all of them had to travel in front of that area where the KiK store was . Thanksfor surfing by (anonymous) and sharing your memories with us.Cheers ! LesF
