• Notes

  Martin Sr. started the Murawsky Furniture business in Kitchener Ontario. After he came from Prussia as a boy and learned his trade at Wunder Furniture in Kitchener. Martin left Wunder's and started his own furniture business in the early 20's in a garage on Victoria Street. After a number of successful years he moved into a 3 storey 90,000 sq. ft. building on Shanley Street and later right after the Second World War added a fourth floor to the building. Martin had five sons, Mike, Martin, Daniel, Jerome and Clarence. The Company produced dining room and bedroom suites, tables, chairs, ocassional chairs, and china cabinets. A lot of their product went to Eaton's stores . At one time there were over 120 people employed at the factory. Martin died in 1952, before that his son ran the business until 1952 when it was closed due to competition from American competitors. MURAWSKY FURNITURE - Genealogy.com. (2017). Genealogy.com.
