History / Biographical: Morris Goldberg (b. February 21, 1900, Poland - November 17, 1978, Ottawa) was the proprietor of Chateau Furs Limited from 1939 to 1986. He partnered with Edward Gittleson in 1939, and Morris later bought out his partner in 1948. Morris Goldberg arrived in Ottawa from Poland in 1921, to join his brother Louis. Morris began his career as a fur trader and worked with Louis in the Pontiac region. The brothers bought furs from trappers and sold them in Montreal, while Morris would occasionally sew fur coats. Morris Goldberg married Zena Jeanne (nee Cohen) Goldberg (b. May 24, 1908 - d. December 18, 1982) in 1930. Zena’s mother Celia had immigrated from Russia in 1907, the same year that she married Zena’s father, Isaac Cohen. Zena had five sisters; Mrs. Israel Zavod, Hannah Kondall, Betty Haufrecht, Lillian Ascher, and Ann Paylan. Zena and Morris had two sons, Arnell and Lewis, as well as two grandchildren, Eden and Joshua. Chateau Furs Limited opened in 1939, at 107 Bank St., on the corner of Bank and Albert Streets. At this point, Morris Goldberg had 17 years of experience working in the raw fur trade. While the store originally had only one floor, it would eventually expand into a four-storey operation, which included the showroom, two floors of refrigerated fur storage vaults, and a floor dedicated to the fur factory. Most of the fur coats sold in the showroom were made in the factory, which helped the store to keep costs lower. While the store was advertised as a luxury retailer which prioritized quality over low prices, they also conducted large, store-wide sales every January and August for many years in which their expensive coats and other accessories were sold for much lower prices. The specific furs used changed over the decades that the store was in operation as styles evolved, and included muskrat, seal, lamb, opossum, mink, beaver, rabbit, raccoon, otter, and squirrel. Chateau Furs mainly advertised fashionable, high-end fur coats for women, available in a variety of sizes including petite and tall, from 7-44. In addition to selling new coats, Chateau Furs also offered a variety of services for the upkeep of their garments, such as repairing and remodeling old coats, as well as cleaning and cold storage available for the summer months in temperature-controlled vaults to help customers maintain the quality of their furs. They also accepted custom orders, and redesigned old coats to meet new fashion trends. They advertised that all of their furs were fully insured for 12 months after purchasing. In 1948, Morris Goldberg bought out his partner and continued to operate Chateau Furs as the sole proprietor. In April of 1956 he moved the business to 144 Sparks Street. The shop sustained some damage during a natural gas explosion in October of 1958, which originated from the Addressograph-Multigraph building on Slater St. Several buildings were completely or partially damaged in the explosion, and many businesses such as Chateau Furs experienced minor damage, mainly from broken windows. Morris Goldberg was a member of the Ottawa Fur Standards Association, and served as president of the organization in the 1950s. He continued to serve as an executive in the 1960s. Morris Goldberg was listed as one of the founders of Agudath Israel, and he served as the Synagogue President from 1942-1947. He also participated in the dedication ceremonies to the new Agudath Israel Synagogue in 1960. Zena Goldberg was active in several organizations in the Ottawa Jewish community. She was a charter member of the Mollie Sachs Chapter of Hadassah-WIZO, and served two terms as its president. After her death, one of Zena’s friends recalled that the Goldberg home was always a happy one, and was the first place that new or visiting Rabbis would come to eat and sleep. Edward Gittleson (b. approx. 1901, d. 1 Jul 1988) and his wife Sonia (nee Herman) Gittleson (b. Approx. 1899, d. November 26, 1986) were the presidents of B’nai Brith Lodge No. 885 and the Ottawa Ladies Auxilliary No. 62 respectively, in 1938-39. Edward became vice-chairman, then chairman of the board of directors in the 1940s, while Sonia was in charge of food services in 1946. As chairman of the B’nai Brith Camp Committee in 1950, Edward was involved in much of the planning and installation of the camp’s facilities. He also sat on the board of directors for the Jewish Home for the Aged in the 1950s and 1960s. Mr. and Mrs. Gittleson had two daughters; Zara, who married Milton Leff in 1954, and Roslyn Ann, who married Arthur Kofman in 1955.

Creator: Milton Shaffer

History / Biographical: Milton Shaffer was born October 8, 1916 in Ottawa, Ontario. He was the son of American-born Abraham Shaffer and Mary Baslaw (original family name was Boguslawsky), who was born in Poltava, Ukraine and immigrated to New York around 1890. He had two brothers, Irving and Harold, who were born in New York, and an older sister, Beatrice and a younger brother, Sheldon, both of whom were born in Ottawa. The Shaffers moved to Ottawa around 1911; Abraham’s parents, Samuel and Mary, nee Katz, were already established there. Abraham and Mary established The Ottawa Bargain Store at 147 Rideau. The family lived above the store until they moved into a home on Marlborough Avenue in Sandy Hill. They continued to operate Shaffer’s Ltd. at the Rideau Street location until 1966. Milton attended York Street School and Lisgar Collegiate Institute. He was active in the Boy Scouts movement and Camp B’nai Brith, and co-founded a chapter of AZA. He and Sarah Fine, younger daughter of Leon and Rachel Feller Fine, had been ‘sweethearts’ since childhood. They married on September 11, 1938 in Montreal. They had three daughters: Ingrid Shaffer Robinson Shapiro (born 1941); Marilyn Shaffer Kimmel (born 1943); Wendy Shaffer Green (born 1945). Milton joined the family business upon graduation from Lisgar and continued there until the business closed some 30 years later. During the Second World War, he volunteered with the Civil Defense Corp and was involved in efforts to control wartime profiteering. Milton was an enthusiastic person willing to share his ideas with anyone who would listen. He was active in the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society, the Lisgar Collegiate Alumni Association, and the Britannia Yacht Club, where he and Sarah sailed and had an active social life. Sarah died in Ottawa in 2012; Milton died in 2015, three months short of his 99th birthday. They were survived by their daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren.

History / Biographical: Minute Car Wash was started by Pincus Newman (b. Dec. 20, 1881, Austria - d. Feb. 13, 1987, Ottawa) in 1953. The business was owned and operated by the Newman family in Ottawa for many years, and is still operational as of 2022. Pincus Newman was married to Hudi Newman (b. Approx. 1896 - d. May 9, 1970, Ottawa), and had four children; William Newman, Lazarus Newman (born approx. 1927), Helene Zaretsky, and Saul Newman. Pincus Newman served in the Austrian army in the First World War before immigrating to Canada in 1924. His first business was a radiator repair shop on Mosgrove Street, which he operated for nearly 20 years. He opened Minute Car Wash in 1953, allegedly in response to a comment from a man from Detroit who told him that a modern car wash would never survive in Ottawa. The car wash was first opened at 240 Catherine Street, and relocated to its permanent location at 270 Catherine Street in 1963 after being expropriated to allow for construction of the new Queensway. The car wash was designed by Pincus Newman and his sons, and was the first of its kind in Ottawa. Fourteen washers were on hand at all times to ensure that cars were washed thoroughly and quickly. Unlike other car washes, at Minute Car Wash the owner was asked to leave their car, and would watch through a glass walkway as the exterior and interior of their car was cleaned with a combination of machine washers and manual washing. The glass walkway was initially installed in the 1950s to alleviate anxieties from car owners who may be wary of leaving their car to be washed by machines. As of 2022, both interior and exterior car washing are still offered, as well as options for a quick wash, full wash, or carpet shampoo. In addition to washing cars, the business also included a “gas bar,” as well as a shop that sold seat covers which could be custom ordered, and car accessories. Throughout the car wash’s history, they have also offered services such as free road maps and winter car storage. Minute Car Wash has made contributions to charitable causes and events in the Ottawa Jewish community and in the wider Ottawa community, including sponsoring Winterlude, sponsoring the Minute Car Wash softball team, which was part of the Jewish Boys Softball League, donating free car wash tickets to fundraising events at Hillel Academy, and sponsoring the Jewish Federation of Ottawa Annual Golf Tournament. Pincus Newman himself also contributed to multiple charitable causes and organizations throughout his life. He was a trustee and officer of the B’nai B’rith Men’s Ottawa Lodge (no. 885) for a number of years throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and was also a member of Kiwanis International, and the Board of Directors of the Protestant Children’s Orphans’ Home in Rosemere, Quebec. Pincus Newman was awarded a medal in 1978 by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker for being the third largest blood donor in Canada. By the age of 80, he had made a total of 88 blood donations, 87 in Canada and one in Israel. Pincus Newman passed the Minute Car Wash to his sons, Laz (Lazarus) and Bill (William) Newman, who eventually sold the business to Tony Kue Shahrasebi in 2002. Shahrasebi renovated the car wash, but kept the original signs outside from the 1950s, which were visible from the highway.

Physical Condition: Album is fragile, please refer to the album's digital surogate.

Notes: This 77 page photograph album was a gift to Mrs. Freiman's son, Lawrence Freiman, on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah by Mr. Harry Hershman. In 1920 a campaign was launched in Montreal to bring immigrant orphans from the Ukraine to Canada. These were children who had lost their parents in the bloody pogroms of 1919. Ottawa's Lillian Freiman took charge of this project. She convened a conference of the city's Jewish community leaders where it was decided to bring over as many orphans as possible, she then traveled to cities across Canada to make an appeal on the orphans behalf. During this time she also worked to plan the campaign with Montreal's Harry Hershman, a representative of the People's Relief Committee and a prominent member of the Jewish War Orphans' Committee of Canada. Together, with the support of the committees, they succeeded in settling 146 Ukrainian war orphans in Canadian homes in 1921. That this was done through the offices of a few dedicated Jews, and by agency of an ethnic constituency held at arm’s length from the Canadian community at large, presents a revealing dimension of Canada’s immigration and social history — a dimension that has yet to be acknowledged outside ethnic circles.

History / Biographical: Max Shenkman came to Canada in 1892. With little knowledge of English he found work assisting in the construction of the inter-provincial bridge spanning Ottawa to Hull (now Gatineau). He turned to peddling with a horse and wagon for his livelihood until he secured a job with the public works department in 1910. Max married Dora Slack in 1905. Dora played a strong and active role in the small Jewish community. She was an ardent worker and a founding member of Hadassah, B'nai B'rith, and the Sisterhood of the Adath Jeshurun Congregation. Max was also an active member of the community. Max died February 12, 1941. Max and Dora raised four sons; Benjamin Paul, Samuel, Abraham Irving and Harold. The youngest, Harold served with the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He worked with the department of Agriculture for 33 years. He met Belle Gubler, a pianist, during a recital at Chateau Laurier and they married in 1949. They had two children together, son William and daughter Dasha. Harold and Belle divorced in 1960 and Harold then married Louise Popplau. ***FONDS NEED FACT CHECKING - The names Harold and Joe have been used interchangably. Harold and Joe are cousins. Shirley Berman seems to think that Harold's father is "Wolfe" Harold and his brothers attended Lisgar Collegiate and in 1993, in their memory, Joe established the Shenkman Award for Business Studies. He also created the Max and Dora Shenkman Memorial Fund, the Abraham Irving Shenkman Yiddish Scholarship Fund and the Ottawa Historical Society Fund. Joe was fond of and donated generously to the YM-YWCA and the Boys and Girls Club. "He was a very quiet person, a lot of his donations were anonymous," said his son William. Joe was a real estate magnate, earning a multi-million dollar fortune. He died March 15, 1998.
