Physical Description
3 artifacts
Date
1915-1940
Scope and Content
Accession consists of several artifacts. The main item is a Singer sewing machine which was manufactured in 1915. It was used by the donor's father, Isaac Edelstein, when he worked as a tailor for Tip Top Tailors during the 1920s. He scratched his name and the date, 1923, into the machine. The other two items are sewing shears that were used by Isaac Edelstein and his wife Ida. She also worked in the garment industry at that time.
Custodial History
In 2003 the donor, Albert Edelstein, received a call from an individual who found the sewing machine in his father's basement after he passed away. He saw that it was inscribed with the name I. Edelstein and tried to locate a family member by calling individuals with that surname in the city telephone book.
Use Conditions
Must credit Isaac Edelstein when displaying objects.

Biography
Norm Albert (1928–2010), the son of Jacob and Lily Albert, was born in Toronto and raised with his brother, Stan, in Trenton and Belleville, Ontario. After attending Belleville Collegiate Institute, Norman joined his father in the Ladies' Retail Business, at the age of nineteen, by opening the Fashion Shoppe in Trenton. Norm's wife, Carole, hailed from Queens, New York. They were married in New York in 1956.
Norman opened another ladies' clothing store in Trenton, the Normandy Shop. A third store, Artistic Ladies Wear, was opened with his brother in Belleville. While toiling in the business of being a retail merchant, Norman and his father joined ranks with a childhood friend, Sidney, to form S & A Investments, a mortgage, loan, and real estate development company. He also ran Kingston Automatic Vending for more than twenty years with his brother-in-law. Norm was on the executive for the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville for seventeen or eighteen years.
Norman enjoyed his retirement years with wife Carole in Florida and at the lake house in Brighton, Ontario. They had three children—Mark, David and Michele—and six grandchildren.

Albert Gilbert was born in Toronto. His father was Nathan Gittelmacher (Gilbert) who came to Canada from Kiev, Russia. He established Gilbert Studios in Toronto in 1922, the year Albert was born. Albert began working with his father, who was also a photographer. Albert took over the business in 1945. He married Gail, and they have two children, Nina and Michael. Albert became a well-known portrait photographer and has had the opportunity to photograph many well known personalities, including a series documenting all of Israel's prime ministers. In 1997, the City of Toronto honoured him on the seventy-fifth anniversary of Gilbert Studio with a gala reception and exhibition held at Metro Hall.
Albert was awarded the Photographer of the Year Award from the Professional Photographers of Canada in 1968, 1969, and 1973. He is a fellow of the Professional Photographers of Canada, a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, and a fellow of the American Society of Photographers. In 1989, he was made a member of the Order of Canada in recognition for being "a master portrait photographer." His son, Michael, is also a photographer.
