This is obvious enough but what is more interesting is getting to know the stories of the merchants who serve the market shoppers.In this and future editions of DRUM we will bring you the stories behind the faces. Seemingly unaffected by the chaos of the world that surrounds here in the depths of _ Kensington Market located a 206 Baldwin Street on the north side near Augusta A venue is a neat little kosher meat market that remains and reminds of a simper time. "Max and Son Meat Market" This is the only kosher meat market existing in Kensington today.(Jack's poultry, down the street is the only other). Herein you'll find 6 days a week a pleasant fellow named Solly Stem; butcher, a son of a butcher as the sign on the window says. Solly's father Max, who passed- away three years ago, came to Canada from Warsaw Poland in 1949. He operated a restaurant just north of Kensington on College Street (Morris' Restaurant) before running a fruit market into a meat market on· Baldwin Street in 1955. Max ran the meat market wttb his wite and 15 year old son Solly who helped out after school. Solly attended Central Technical School. Helping out at the meat market included delivering by bike to mostly Jewish clientele as far north as St. Clair A venue. by Robert Boucher When Solly got his driver's license deliveries were made with the family . car. Solly became a partner to his father 20 years ago and 13 years ago took over full operation of the shop. Today this son of a butcher runs his shop with Ellen, his wife of 30 years. (Today, October 29, the day of this interview, is as a matter of fact their anniversary. Solly and Ellen have two daughters and one son between the ages of 23 to 28. The "kids" have no desire to join mom and dad in the family business so Solly says of the future he plans to expand but will retire someday "if they don't bury me first" . Solly who strives for_ only the best quality of meats for his customers can be found at suppliers every morning at 6 am 6 days a week. Personally selecting what he will sell. Asked for his motto he states that he " wouldn't sell it if I could not take it home and eat it myself" . He closes the shop every February and usually heads south. ·Customers today are a vast mix of cultural backgrounds as you might imagine. Many customers . have been buying their meat at Max and Son's for as long as they remember. If Solly doesn't know the customer's name he knows what the customer wants. When you meet Solly you'll agree and that's no bull. l•1i11rz• - ....I en - ~ .. J: 1- DRUM C!' z 0 ....I •
