- 1963 - Feu au coin de Murray & Nelson, à côté de la Manufacture de fer-blanc B. Applebaum./Fire near the corner of Murray & Nelson, next to B. Applebaum Manufacturers of Tinware and sheet metal CE 4-2893, 306 Murray. Here's a bit of history regarding the Applebaum's business.
Applebaum, Boruch
Biographical history B. Applebaum & Son was a tin smith and sheet metal factory located at 306 Murray Street, Ottawa. B. Applebaum was Boruch Applebaum and his son Harold who married Goldie Reva Budovsky. The business specialized in making garbage cans with corrugated sides, stove pipes and furnace metals. The business started before the 1930s. Boruch Applebaum employed his brothers Pinhey and Jake at the beginning. At different times, he employed his daughters to work in the office, especially Ann who had a good business sense. The Applebaums lived upstairs over the business and this was a very noisy arrangement. His son Harold became a partner and inherited the business. The business declined, in part, because it was overtaken by new technologies. Boruch Applebaum's parents were first generation Ottawa people. His father, Moses was a junk dealer and a shamus at the Machzikei Hadas Synagogue, 259 Murray
