- History / Biographical
- Avram (Abraham) Lazarus Florence (b. 1875- d. 1936) was one of Ottawa’s best known Jewish businessmen in his day. Born at Zadik, Lithuania A. L. Florence came to Canada in his early teens. For several years he lived in Hamilton then moved to Ottawa around 1900. Initially he was listed as a junk dealer in the Ottawa City Directory, living at 107 Dalhousie Street and operated his business at 75-77 Dalhousie Street. Eventually he specialized in supplying paper mills with used paper. The Government of Canada was a major client for the Florence Paper Company Ltd. Florence was president of the Agudath Achim Congregation, and was one of the prominent members of the congregation associated with the building of the Rideau Street Synagogue in 1912. He was also a strong supporter of the Hebrew Benevolent Society and the Ottawa Talmud Torah Board. He married Lena Pullan who died at the age of 45 in 1925. They had three sons and four daughters. The Florences built a large home overlooking the Ottawa River near Earnscliffe, which was later sold to members of the Francisan Order who converted the home into a monastery. In 1985, the Florence Paper Company was bought by Laidlaw Company.
