Notes |
- Death of a Pioneer Furniture Maker
One of the oldest furniture manufacturers in Canada, and a pioneer in the industry in Berlin, died in that city on April 13th, in the person of John S. Anthes, president of the Anthes Furniture Co. Deceased was born in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, November 8th, 1844, and was therefore in his 71st year. He received his education in the county schools, and later taught school for several years. In 1865, he went to Berlin, and was employed by the late Louis Breithaupt, founder of the leather and tanning business now carried on by the Breithaupt Leather Company Ltd. Mr. Anthes was employed as accountant and salesman for a number of years and later entered the furniture business being associated with some of the pioneer furiture manufacturers of Berlin, such as the late John Aldous and William Simpson. In 1884, he purchased the Berlin Novelty Works and carried on business in his own name for a number of years in the manufacture of children's carriages and patent slat chairs. In 1888, his factory was destroyed by fire, but was immediately rebuilt on a much larger scale. In this factory, Mr. Anthes began making the high grade furniture which has made his name known throughout Canada in the furniture trade. In 1901 he went into the amalgamation of furniture factories under the name of Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd., in which company he was a director and manager of the local factories for a number of years. In 1906, Mr. Anthes resigned as director of the Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd. and built the present large, modern factory at Berlin in partnership with J. C. Breithaupt, under the name of The Anthes Furniture Co., the product of this factory being exclusively high grade furniture. The late Mr. Anthes always took a keen interest in municipal affairs and served in council and on public boards for many years. He was known as a keen business man and successful manufacturer and his many friends throughout the country will sincerely mourn his departure. Mr. Anthes was married in 1867 to Miss L. Catherine Herlan who with one son J. I. Frank Anthes, and four daughters, Mrs. J. C. Breithaupt, Mrs. A. L. Breithaupt, Mrs. T. H. Reider [sic] and Mrs. H. M. Cook, and twenty grandchildren survive. A sister, Mrs. G. Strasser, of Sebringville, also survives. The late H. W. Anthes, who died recently in Toronto, was a brother. The funeral was held from his late residence thence to Zion Evangelical Church for service. The remains were interred in Mount Hope Cemetery.
