Mr. Harold Pflug informed the Waterloo Chronicle that the Forsythe factory which appeared in last week‘s Historic Waterloo column used to be the Marâ€" ket Hotel. Mr. Pflug said he could remember when the farmers would bring their goods to the market and then go across the street to the hotel for a drink.
