Notes
The Waterloo Glove Manufacturing company was founded in 1902 by John Schondelmeyer in a building on Dupont street (demolished). The business was bought in 1920 by Elmer Wahl and Valentine Peter Bernhardt and moved to a house formerly owned by Edward F. Seagram at 9 Erb street east. It was purchased by Robert Putnam in 1966 and the company moved out of the building at 9 Erb in 1973.

This is a promotional post card printed in Germany circa 1908.
