Benjamin Bierstein
Toronto Daily Star, 18 August 1927
Young Mr. Bierstein's name was unique enough that it was possible to trace him in the Toronto city directories. He first appears in 1930 as a student, and eventually became an accountant, starting a firm with Morris Birstein, who was presumably his brother or his father.
He was still listed as a chartered accountant in the 1969 city directory, which is the last one that I checked, though he wasn't running his own firm then. He was part of a close-knit family: the 1946 directory lists six family members at the same address.
