Biographical history
Meyer Furman arrived in Edmonton in 1925 from Pinsk, Poland, sponsored by the Grabow family. In 1928, his wife, Bunia Bella and her three sons, Bill, Aaron and Moe, arrived in Canada on the SS Polinka. Meyer learned the bakery business from Meyer Sheckter of Alberta Bakery, and then left to open Furman's Tasty Bread Bakery on 97th St. Meyer and Bunia Bella had five children: William, Aaron, Moe and Larry and daughter Eva. Eva married Allan Marcus of Marcus furs. William married Goldie, and they ultimately ran the business until its closure.
