There is no doubt in my mind that the quality of life has deteriorated, pri- marily as a result of a thoughtless council and an apathetic public. Dear Editor, LETTEB, TO THE EDITOR HISTORIC WA TERLOO The building surrounding the brewery's smoke stack was built in 1897 according to Tom Kuntz, a member of the original family who is employed now at the plant by Carling's. Around the year 1870. Louis Kuntz took over from his father David and it became known as the L. Kuntz Park Brewery. In 1864 the first building was constructed on the present site of the Carling Brewery on William Street. Although the building has since been tom down, a portion of it, particularly the basement and a tunnel are still used today. This section is beneath the pres- ent building on which the tall smoke stack sits but is not visible from the outside. David Kuntz emigrated to Canada from Germany in the year 1844 bringing with him the German's knowledge of how to make beer. Shortly after arriving he put his skills as a brewer and maker of casks to work in a brewery he founded behind the present site of the Kent Hotel. A name which was synonomous with Waterloo for 100 years up until 1940 was Kuntz, the name of a family which founded the Kuntz brewery in Waterloo in 1844 and still has a member working in the present Carling Brewery.

Sagan & Sons, Ltd., Waterloo, Ont. By 1910, the Kuntz Brewery had grown to become the second largest in Ontario and was incorporated as a limited company with the stock being held by' the Kuntz family. David Kuntz, the grandson of the found- er was named the president. Following his death in 1915 William and Herbert, also grandsons of the founder took over the management of the company under the guidance of their uncle Aloyes Bauer who died in 1920. . The Kuntz Brewery was sold in October of 1929 to ER Taylor of Ottawa who later formed the Brewery Corporation of Canada Limited which is known today as the Canadian Breweries Limited. . A . ... .. The Kuntz name remained associated with the Brewery until 1940. The Carling Brewery in London was closed at the end of 1936 and was amalgamated with the Kuntz Brewery in Waterloo and retained the name in the title, The Carling Kuntz Brewery until it was dropped in 1940. The brewery has had considerable additions made to it over the years expanding back along Caro- line Street and although the founder's name is not commonly known by Waterloo residents anymore, the brewery has been an important part of Water- loo's past.
