' (By Our Special Correspondent, H, N.) G. Hammer & Go. _ This firm is one among the leading firms of the village that are prosperous and reliable. They deal exclusively in boots and shoes, which they also manu- facture and repair. They have a large stock of all kinds of footwear of the latest patterns and styles. Their work and ready-made stock will compare favorably with any other in the county, Mr. Hammer, the senior member of the firm, was born in Normanby, Grey county, in 1864. He was married about three years ago to Martha,daugh- ter of Mr. John Diogwall, of this place. m learned the boot and shoe making trade abouttwenty years ago with his uncle, Mr. John Eidt, now of Philips- ‘burg. For a number of years he was employed by Mr, Hill, who was then conducting the business. He then purchased the business from Mr, Hill and wasa partner with George Lips, who died about ten months after they had engaged in business. From that time on Mr. Hammer was alone in the business until about a year and a half ago he took as partner Mr. H Furies. Mr. Forler was born here in 1870. He learned hisltrade with Mr. Henry Hill. The business is one of the oldest in this section, having been entablished by Mr. Hill about forty five years ago. Mr. Hammer and his part" ner, Mr, Feller, are seldom idle, always working at the bench wheinot engaged atthe counter atttending to customers in the ready-made department. Their work will always stani inspection. While here I was shown a valuable relic which is now in the possession of Me, Hammer. It is a medalgreceived by his grandfather for meritorous con- duet in the war with Napoleon in 1814 and 1815. It was made from a c innon captured by the Germans from the French. On one side is the inscription: "K.W.II seinen tapfern, Hessen,1821. On the reverse side, "Gott brach des Feindes macht und Hessen ward be- freit." Its worthy reci ient died many years ago from the result of wounds he sustained in that sanguinary strife. Peter Glebe. Here is a citizen who is also instru- mental in giving the main street of the village a good appearance, for he has a neat business room and a hand. some and commodious frame residence in the rear. He also knows what hard work is, having worked as a blacksmith at Lisbon nearly all his life until be engaged in his present business here about seven years ago. His father was also a well-known blacksmith. Mr. Glebe was born in North E isthope in 1850. He has been twice married, his first wife being a daughter of the late John Cook, of North Eusthope. By this union there were three children. The mother died about, trn years ago. His second marriage took place in 1890 to Miss Christina, daughter of Mr. Peter Harbaugh, of Neustadt. . The fruit of the latter union is one ‘ child. While at Lisbon Mr. Glebe was postmaster of that village for a number of years. His present business is groceries, eontretiomsry, tobacco and cigars. In an adjoining room separate from the latter room he keeps a whole- sale liquor department which is stocked with the best bottled goods in the market. Those in need of a superior! article for medicinal purposts can iii), accommodated and will not be the victims of deception so frequently prac- ticed in a business of this kind. It is at Mr. Glebe's place that the citizens can have communication with all the leading points in the county and else where, as it is the headquarters in Wellesley village for the Belt Telephone Company. Take it all round Mr. G'ebe is about as comfortably situated as any of them. In the carriage and wagon manufac- turing industry Wellesley village is fortunate in having an institution of that character well worthy of the pat- ronage of the people. Mr. 1jleiechhauer has been in business here about thirty years, in fact he has been engaged in Wellesley village the greater portion of his lite, having learned his trade here. He made a decided success in this line, and has probably turned out as many vehicles as any other manufacturer in Waterloo county. He has always borne an enviable reputation for turning out honest work and he is prepared to sub- stantiatethestatemenll that his waggous will stand the test with those of the The Thriving Metropolis of Wellesley Township-Date of Its origin-Biogravhieal Sketches of Its Business Men, Etc.

Fleischhauer. l His grocery stock iscomplete in every (detail, there being staple and fancy _ groceries in large supply constantly on lhand. He also endeavors to have on hand a big supply of good, fresh bread to accommodate his customers or others who happen to require the staff of life. He also has a fine line of confectionery and other nie uses. The best and most popular brands of flaar will be found at his store. In addition he keeps a fall supply of school books, stationery, the, also quite a line of straw hats. Despite the fact that Mr. Lips has ex- perienced " good deal of sickness in his business career, he has supported his family and built up a successful trade, and is today one of the respon- sible business men of the village. Mrs. Lips is a daughter of the late Hillary Hill, one of the pioneers of Wellesley, George D. Miller. The lover of the curious and rare is gratified the moment he enters the jewelry and workshop of this promising business man. He is an enthusiastic relic hunter and has one of the largest collections of coins I have seen for many a day. m has also a large col- lection of rare Indian relies, but which he is unable to properly display for want of room. Ia his coin collection are a number of Roman coins over two thousand years old, in fact he has money used by the ancients of all nations and many of those of the pres- ent time. One article in his shop that has a decidedly venerable appearance,is a musical clock, made in Germany over one hundred years ago. If Mr. Miller persists in his efforts to collect the rare and curious and articles of a past age, Wellesley village can soon be able to boast of having quite an extensive museum in its midst. He is also quite a hustler in the bicycle trade,and claims to handle more wheels than any other country dealer in the county. Proof of that is in the Get that he sold 44 bicycles last year and has disposed of 34 already this season. He handles the Crescent, and so far has not heard of a complaint from any purchaser. His display of watches, clocks and jawelry is large and well assorted. In the former line the display is especially good for a country village. He is also prepared to clean and repair watches and clocks on short notice. Mr, Mill. or has been in business here over four years. For one having commenced on a. diminutive capital his success has certainly been phenomenal, when we take into consideration the extent of his present stock and patronage be is now receiving. He is a native of Well. esley, where he was born in 1871, being new in the 27th year of his age. In writing up the business of a village it is always the desire of the writer to say a word of encouragement in behalf of the young business men, and one of those deserving of such encouragement is the subject of this sketch. May he continue to enjoy prosperity. Henry Alteman The jewelry and watch and clovk repairing profession has an old and thoroughly experienced representative in Mr. Alteman. He was born in the town of Waterloo, where he learned his trade with the late Berjamin Bowman. After he had conducted a shop in that town for two years, he came to Wellesley village. He was then twenty-one years of age. He had an encouraging patronage from the start, being located here for a period of twenty-two years. In 1878 he was married to Martha, daughter of Mr, George Globe, of Lisbon, the latter being new in the 80th year of his age. They had five children, all of whom are living. The mother died December lb, 1896, of consumption. In lc'Ue', Mr. Alteman was again married, his second wife being Miss Hattie, daugh- ter of Mr, A. B. Smith, a prominent school teacher, at present engaged at Amulree. Mr. Alteman is a careful and economical business man, and has an enviable reputation as a jeweler.. , He owns two tine dwelling houses, and the building now occupied by Mr. John Kinsinger as a hardware store. He is r a member of the Lutheran (Clnada Synod) church, and has been for nine years a member of the Board of School Trustees. He has a branch at Linwood in charge of Mr T B, Berlet, where watch and clock best makers in the country. His shop is a substantial brick structure (i?, x 30 feet and two stories high, in addition to which are several large warerooms for housing finished work. They have turned out thirty-two vehicles already this season. In the buggy line they turn out some very fine work. One of these I noticed already finished and ready to be taken out is an exceedingly handsome vehicle. The material used is of the best, and it is ironed and put together in a manner that must be satisfactory to the purchaser who wants something that is both durable and elegantly finished. But this is the secret of Mr. F,eieehhauer'ts long and successful business oareer---he will not let inferior work go out of his shop. Be also does a general line of black- smithing and has a firet class horse shoer employed. While his work can be classed among the best his prices; are not extortionate, and all orders are promptly attended to John Lips. Among Wellesley village’s careful business men stands prominently the name of Mr. Lips. He was born in 1874, being the son of Charles Lips of the township cf Wilmot. Prior to en- gaging in his present business he carr- ied on the boot and shoe business for nine years. After this he purchased his present stock and property, the lat. ter consisting of a storeroom and dwelling house. He also owns the bakery, but he leases that department. There is also a barber shop in connec- tion, where everything in the tonsorial line is done in the most satisfactory style. Mr. Lips' store is headquarters for ice cream and other refreshing del- icacies during the hot summer months. In the former he has the reputation of making a fine article. He also makes a specialty of tropical and domestic fruits in season. J ohnNourur, theiTailor. Those who admire and desire a neat fitting and fashionable suit of clothes can be promptly accommodated by calling on the above named gentleman. He is equipped in every way to fulfil their wants. Mr. Young is a fashionable tailorinevery sense of the word. He served part of his time at St. John’s, Mich., and the balance at Lisbon. He learned cutting in Waterloo with Abe Slater and was for some time a partner of John Rilzer of that town. He is a native of Waterloo county, his birth. place being between Elmira and Cones- togo. He is married and is the father of three children but two of whom are deceased. Mr. Young has been in business here ten years, a very good indication that he is suiting his numer- ous patrons well. In the busy season four hands are engaged in bis shop. He keeps on hand the largest stock of worsted goods and foreign and domestic tweeds sf any one tailor this side of Waterloo. In the large display there are some very fine and stylish patterns and one wonders how they can be made up into the most fashionable suits for the small sum of fifteen dollars. bl r. Young is noted for making easy and neat fitting suits. Shoddy work is en- tirely out of his line, his aim being always to use the best and most dur- able material, and the making up of the same is constantly under his super- vision to prevent inferior workmanship. He occupies two large rooms, one for his workshop and the other for his tweeds and worsted goods. Mr. -Thos. F. Hickey, a practical coat maker, who served his time with D. M. Gabel, of Oonestogo,and one time employed with Mr. Harry Baltzer, of Berlin, is now engaged in Mr. Young’s shop, Daniel R. Streicher. The above named individual is the proprietor of the ct eese factory, which is situated about a mile northwest of the village. Mr, Streicher lives in a fino house and owns and works a farm of one hundred acres. He took possession of the factory last fall and since it came into his control its patrons and Output. have been almost doubled, there being something like seventy farmers who contribute milk. The factory is located on one corner of the farm of Mr. Chris tian Streicher, his father, who owns a block of two hundred acres. It is in charge of a cheese maker of practical experience and who takes a deep in- terest in his work. That individual is Mr. W. Vance, who has served five years in cheese making. For two years of this time he was engaged in Erie County, near York, noted as being one This well known citizen is a son of the late Chas. Ottman, who was among the fl st of the pioneers of Wel- lesley village. The subject of this sketch was born here in 1855 He has lived here all his life and about twenty- one years ago he opened a harness Shi‘p and has continued it with success op to the present time and the present out- look of his patronage foreshadows a prosperous future. He was married fh 1878 to E izabeth, daughter of Geo. Ziegler. They have a. family of nine children. Charles, the, eldest son, is employed in his father's, shop. Mr.0tt_ man is a born musician and for a num ber of years has been leader of the Wel- lesley Band, one of the leading musical organizations in the county. It has about hiteen members and despite the fact that they have not; been in active practice for the past two years they are still capable of producing music of which the citizens may well be proud, Mr, Ottman is leader of the choir of the Lutheran church, Missouri Synod. The latter position he ha s held for twenty years. The band has been reorganized this season and the members will un- doubtedly give a good account of them- selves during the season of fairs and festivities. . repairing will be punctually attended to. His display of watches, clocks and iewelry here is a fine one, He is an expert in his line, and his reputation for doing out repair work in a firist class ecientifie manner is too well known to need further comment from the writer. Mr. Alterman is agents here for the Econamical Fire Insurance Co., of Berlin, 8 position he has held 18 years. Ferdinand Bepdux. This gentleman has been identified with the business interests of Wellesley village nearly all his life, and was for many years one of the prominent and well known hotel keepers of Wa. terloo county, a reputation he acquired in his management of the Royal Hotel, in which capacity be was occupied for h's father years before the house came into his own possession. He was born in Philipsburg in 1849, his father, Peter Berdux, being one of the oldest settlers in this section, and who departed this life at the advanced age of eighty-two years, Dec. 30, 1807, The subject of this sketch was married in 1874to Miss Catharine, daughter of John Roeder, who died the day fol, lowing the death of Mr. Berdux’s father. Mr, Berdux took charge of the Royal on his own account in 1875, and conducted it with good success until about eight years ago, when he leased the house in order to devote his time to the butchering business, He was at one time a director and presi- dent of the Wellesley Agricultural Association. but when the Society became established in Wellesley vil lags he retired from it in an official way, though he always strove to have it located here. While he was highly successful as a hotel man, he is receiv- ing a very encouraging patronage In his present business. His aim is always to supply his customers with good meat. His facilities for keeping his meats in the best condition possi- ble in the hot weather season is ample, the refrigerator being one of the best for that purpose that the writer has yet inspected. He also sells at whole. sale, his market extending to Water- loo and Berlin. It is now the inten. tion of Mr. Berdux to take in his son Philip, now twenty-two years of age, as a partner. Waters. G. F. Ottman. of the great cheese making centres of America. He is a naive oanfu‘d County and worked several years at cheese making in Norwich township of that county. This is his first. season here and he is giving entire satisfae tion. They are now turning out alrrur twelve --r-r--- cheese per day. The cheese made here is of a very superior grade and commands as high a price as any offered on the market.

Mr. Streicher believes that to make a. success of the cheese making business it must have strict " tention the same as any other calling. John IC1nsintrer. In the hardware and tinware trade, Wellesley Village has her wants amply supplied by Mr, Kinsinger. He deals exclusively in that which goes to make up a firstrcls8s hardware srore. He was born in St. Jacobs in 1857. He received his first lessons in the tin- smithing trade under the instructions of Mr. John Gabel of that village. After this he worked for some time at Dmira and f1mslly he went to Michi. gan where he was for several years. Returning from the states he came back to Huron county where he was for some time engaged in business. He started in Wellesley about three years ago, and has been meeting with en- couragement ever since. His stock of hardware is large and well selected, and in the tinware line there is every- thing necessary for the hiuathcld. He handles all the leading make of stoves and has a number of the best manu- facture in his store now. He handles a large quantity ot the best binder twine, in the market daring the season, and has already this season sold swan tons. In eavetroughmg, roofing and spouting he makes a specialty, which he is prepared to do on the most rea~ souable terms and guarantees first-Claes workmanship. He also always keeps on band a large supply of the best make of wire fencing. Mr. Kinsinger, hav. ing had long and thorough experience in this line is therefore prepared to do work that will prove satisfactory to his numerous patrons throughout this sectionI and he is certainly worthy of their patronage. is a record we are proud of, and every day such testimony comes pouring in.. There are thousands of pockets carrying our truth. ful watches and hundreds yet waiting here. No need worrying with a. poor one when a good one costs so little. In hhy This large and 'well kco wn general mercantile establishment is under the management of Mr. J. G. Peppler, a gentleman widely known in Waterloo county. He has had many yesrs' ex- perience in his present calling. He was for three years employed by that old and experienced merchant, Mr, N. S. Bowman, of Conestoga, and for four years with Mr.LuvuaWenger at Ayton. He came here in the fall of 1892 and commenced business which he has carried on with good success to this day. Mr. Peppler in his time, like many others of the human family, has met with business reverses, but un- daunted he has succeeded in overcom- iug all obstacles and is to-day one of the leading business men of Waterloo county. He commenced here on a small scale and has gradually increased until now he controls as large a business as there is in this section. The building which holds his mammoth stock is a two-story structure 60x54 feet in di- mensions. The lower story is packed with general merchandise consisting of dry goods, boots and shoes,groceries, wall paper, glassware and crockery. In on adj aiming room is the millinery depsrtrnent which is well stocked with everything of the latest style rrqu'red in that line. The display of crockery and glassware is large and in endless variety, the tableware being particul- arly attractive and up-to-date. Mr. Peppler takes inalarge amount of falm produce during the year, for which he pays the highest mauket price in trade. He does a cash busi- ness and pays cash for his goods, a system that enables him to sell at a lower margin than the merchant who does an extensive credit business. Mr. Rppler was born near Heidel- berg in 1859 He was married in 1887 to Miss Ella, daughter of Mr. William Cole, of Conestoga. She was born in that villagein1803, They have been blessed with two children. They live in apartments over the More, The venerable parents of Mr, Peppler are at this writing with him on a visit from New Hamburg. The father, Mr. George Peppler, is one of the oldest residents of Wellesley township, com- ing here born the Province of Upper Hesse Darmstadt m 1841. He was Days Two Seconds Store Near the Post (micel Berlin monicle, Thupsaay , Heller Bros E. Peppler. A 5924- born there in 1819, bising' now in the 79h year of has age. He lived for mszny years near 1Leideltrargr, He is an uncle to Mr. George Peppler, black- smith of Watrrloo. The mother, now 73 years of age, was also born in Ger-r many. She cane to this country when six years of age. The venerable couple have also experieneed the hardships of life, but they are still apparently smart, considering their weight of years, and their pleasures now in the twilight of life is in visiting :nheir children. Mr. Peppler has been in business all told about eleven years. He is of a pleas- ant and sociable disiofuion, character. istics in a. citizen that compel the stranger to speak in words of praise of the community when he leaves its environments. One of the largest] and best rquipped blacksmith sbopa and cariiage and wagon manufactory in the munt-y is owned and operated by this gentleman. M r. Wilhelm was born in Wilmot towmhip in 1858. He was raised on a farm, but has worked at the trade he now follows the greater part of his life. He commenced here in 1881. His establishment is a large one, being 60 x33 feet in dimensions and two stories high. The blaclrgmith shop is one of the bean equipped in this secbion. Mr. Wilhelm has a reputation of doing first class work, both in wood work, inching vehicles and horse shoeing. This industrious citizen became the successor of Mr. John Weismiller in the chopping and cider mill on Nov. 22, 1897, and has been done: a suc- cessful business ever since. He was born near Wellcsley in 1874, and is the son of Mr. Christian ZAr, one of the well known f.rmers of this section. The cider and chopping mill was eetab lished by Weismiller shout twelve years ago. The cider mill is one oi the best equipped and most convenient in the county. It has a capacity of turning out about 2,000 gallons per day and during the heavy apple crop of 1896 its total output was something like 50,000 gallons. C) no advantcge in this mill is that Mr. Z hr, not having his time tdren up in other business has it constantly under his personal super- v'sion and then Cris can guarantee good honest work in every particular. Patrons in case of a visit do not have to wait an unusual length of time, everything being so conveniently ar- ranged as to render the grinding of a load of apples in the least possible time. As he makes a specialty of this line of work he is certainly worthy of the farmers' patronage. He has ample water power which is furnished by an unusually powerful spring nearly a mile west of the mill, the water being conveyed through a race about 90 rods long. There is a ten-inch giant wheel. Mr. Zehr worked for fure years as a cabinet maker in the states and is a natural mechanic and is not compelled to call in an outsider in case something goes wrong with his machinery. m has now about completed a dust blower for a separator that is said to be a very handy contrivance. His chopping mill is capable of turning out from ten to fifteen bags per hour and is ready for work every day in the year. In con- nection with the chopping and cider mill he has a lathe and hand saw, and if necessary, should he have a call from a patron for anything in the sash, blind or screen line he can accommodate him Mr. Zshr is making conslierab!e improvement in the cider mill and by the time the apple season comes on he will be thorough'y prepared to give the best of satisfaction and do the work promptly. In this particular he especially invites the abtention of the farmers who will have large apple crops this fall. Those who have not pre- viously done so, but will give him a. trial will fiad that; he is fully prepared as stated. This well known house was built in 1855 by Peter Smith, His brother Louis was its proprietor for two years, after which it was occupied by one Walker. In 1860 it became the pro- perty of the late Peter Berdux, who conducted it foe a period of fifteen years. It was then handed over to his son Ferdinand who continued to be its landlord and proprietor until last February when be leased it to its pre- sent occupant, Mr. Philip fleistsnrflugr The latter is yet a young man, but has good promise of being a successful hotel man. Mr, Ilasenpflag was born in West Montrose on Jane 17, 1873 He was reared on the farm and at the age of eighteen years had his fityst ex- perience in hotel life, commencing with Thomas O’Donnel at E'mira, July 17, 1801. Here he remained about five months and then went to Waterloo where he was for some time engaged in Doorsam’s hotel, now known as the City Hotel. From the latter he went to the Alexander House where be remained fear years. After this he was employed at Huether’s hotel for ten months. Subsequently he went to Berlin for a short time. While there he received a call to accept a position in the Market Hotel, Galt, but having already concluded to go into business on his own hook he declined and came to Wellesley village. Mr, Insenpih1g is a son of John George Hatseropibag, who was for many years employed by Hon. E. W. B. Snider at German] Mills. The subject of this sketch was married,April 26, 1807, to Irs, Anna, daughter of Mr. Thomas Roesch, for- merly engaged in the milling business in Waterloo. They have one child.
