A. Bricker, Carriage Maker, Queen Street - The trade of the carriage maker is one of much importance in any community, and especially in a place like Berlin, surrounded as it is with a large farming community, who depend in a great measure on vehicles of one kind or another for their means of transportation. Among those most prominently engaged in this line is Mr. A. Bricker, whose works are located on Queen Street, near King. The premises occupied are 35x70 feet and two stories in height, where employment is furnished to 12 skilled and careful workmen. The business has been established for the past eight years, and has steadily increased in extent since the date of its inception. Mr. Bricker builds all kinds of carriages, buggies, wagons, etc., and has gained a high reputation for excellence of workmanship and the quality of material in the vehicles constructed by him. He receives and fills orders for all parts of the Dominion, doing a large business in the West and North-West. He is a Canadian by birth, and a practical workman as well as a capable, enterprising and persevering business man, and one who is held in the highest esteem in the community. He has often been invited to allow himself to be elected to public office, but has been forced to decline on account of pressure of business.
