Beside the three men appears to be several metal headboards for bed frames.

If it is the Reliable Bedstead Co maybe he's the "Bed Tester" - it looks as though he just got up!

Toronto & York Radial Railway.....photo 1910 TPL
Begun early in the early 1900s, the Toronto & York Radial Railway provided transportation from the end of TTC service on Yonge St. (near the Toronto city-limits) to northern communities. Eventually, the line became very popular with rural families who needed to reach Toronto and city folk who found it a convenient service to reach campgrounds, beaches and cottages along the route that finally extended to Lake Simcoe.
The line was finally abandoned in 1948 when improved automobile transportation became more convenient.

Hastings & Peterkin was a ghost sign in 1900. The firm was C R Peterkin, and they did picture framing. Stationary engineer running the steam engines was one John Bryan in 1900.

Around 1900 this radial was powered by Wheelock-pattern compound steam engines from Goldie & McCulloch in Galt.
