Bricker in 1889, his son, the late Simon B. Bricker, then a traveller for the Bonesâ€"Henger wholesale dry a(,mds merchants at Buffalo, came to aterloo and joined the company which continued under the firm name of Bricker & Diebel. Mr. Diebel, on his appointment to the postmastership at Waterloo 29 years ago, withdrew from the firm and five years â€" later_ Mr. Harr*l Germann inhwd the firm under the name of Bricker, Germann Co. On the death of Mr. 8. B. Bricker the latter‘s inâ€" terest was bought by Mr. Germann. It is interesting to note that Mr. James 0. Motheral, with the Bricker & Diebel store in Plattaville, came to Waterloo in 1887 and continued to be identified with the business as head salesman until about 1910 when he joined the sales staff of Brock & Co., wholesalers, at Toronâ€" to. It is rather a coincidence that Mr. Motheral, who took stock in the store in 1887, assisted Mr. Germann in stockâ€"taking in the same store last January, fnst 47 years later. Mr. Motheral, in reminiscencing, referred to the fact that he came to Waterloo about the time of the founding of the Dominion Lifé Assurance Company and was the 1,008th policyholder, the company being required by the government to have a stated amount of insurâ€" ance in force before a charter was granted. He also recalled the late David Bean coming to Waterloo from Elmira at this time and acâ€" quiring the Waterloo Chroniele.
