Radio broadcast for the segment/show Enterprise in Action of radio station CJVI Victoria on March 5th, 1961. This episode features the Mallek Family. Two radio hosts outline the Malleks’ lives and successes in both Victoria and Vancouver up until the present (1961).
The broadcast tells the story of husband and wife, Harry R. Mallek and Alice Mallek, who met in Seattle in 1905 and lived there for a short while, later running a general store in Tacoma—despite both being Canadians themselves. Hoping to give their children a Canadian education, they finally moved to Vancouver, briefly, in 1912 and then to Victoria. There, they started a ladies’ ready-to-wear business called the Ladies’ Sample Suithouse. In time with its success, this business changed locations and its name was changed to Mallek’s. The episode also shares details of the Malleks’ children Howard, Laurence, and Edward. The brothers operated quite a successful horseradish business in their adolescence and moved on to other careers. Howard became a doctor while Laurence opened Mallek’s Ltd. of Vancouver and Edward started his own retail business. Meanwhile, Mrs. Mallek, after the passing of Mr. Mallek, still spends her days at Mallek’s in Victoria when she is not spending time with her family or various societies in her community.
