It reads "GAS THE MODERN FUEL"
I noticed this near the foot of Queen Street by Ontario, seen from behind S&R. It is pretty faded but a really nice font. The municipality has run natural gas distribution since the 1800s. This is near the old gas works site. Here is some info on city gas works in Canada. There is still one last gas street lamp lit dating from 1847 on King Street East near William.

Do you mean at the Halifax Waterfront by NSCAD? I had in my head it was "Morse's Tea".
