Lights turned Old City Hall into a Christmas spectacle

KITCHENER - Charles Janzen couldn't make flowers grow at Christmas, but he could certainly make City Hall bloom with seven thousand bulbs and almost five kilometres of electrical wire.

For nearly three decades, the nursery owner and president of the Kitchener Horticultural Society was the brain behind the annual tradition to turn the Old City Hall building into a twinkling, sparkling, festive landmark.

The Old City Hall and its elaborate holiday decorations, exists only in photos and memories now. Opened in 1924, people danced on Frederick Street to celebrate its construction. It was a beacon in the heart of the city until it fell to the wrecking ball in September 1973.

Janzen and the horticultural society took over the task of decorating city hall in 1937. Before they got involved, the Christmas decorations were much more understated. City workers just strung long ropes of evergreen around the building's tall pillars, and placed a few spotlights on the lawn.

Under Janzen's vision, City Hall became a much grander holiday spectacle. He added more spotlights and strung up coloured wheels and stars made from fancy electric bulbs. The tradition continued over the years, with increasingly elaborate decorations and lights that usually changed each year.....

His father Henry Janzen, a German immigrant, founded the horticultural society and built the first greenhouses in this area, Berlin Commercial Nurseries, in 1879. He also helped convince the Ontario Sugar Company to open the first sugar beet factory here in 1902.

Like his son, the elder Janzen was heavily involved in the community. He sat on the school board, was a town councillor, mayor, ran the board of trade and was a founder of the Berlin News-Record.

Janzen's Christmas lights paused only during the Second World War, when electrical power was conserved for industrial production; they came back on when soldiers returned from the war. But the Christmas tradition never stopped, even during the early 1950s when the city used a generator to keep the lights on during power outages....

At the northwest corner of King and Wellington Streets, there was a hotel with a large barn, used by teams from the country. A Mr. Proudlove built the hotel. It was later occupied by Levi Weber and after him by Henry Glebe.

_____________________

The Berlin Piano and Organ Company existed from 1890 to 1904. The company was formed in 1890 by a group of Berlin businessmen, in Berlin, Ontario, Canada. In September of 1916, Berlin was renamed to Kitchener.

For many years, John Wesley - former secretary/treasurers of the Dominion Organ Co. managed the company. In 1895, the president was H.L. Janzen, secretary was F.G. Gardiner, and treasurer was J. Kaufman.

From the Music Trade Review (1896) ohn Wesley, who is well known to the American trade, supervises the business of the Berlin Piano Co. The factory which this company occupy is large, well lighted and well appointed, constructed of brick, lying adjacent to the railroad, which gives them the possession of unsurpassed railroad facilities both as to receiving and shipping their wares. Berlin, as its name indicates, is largely settled by the Germans. They all seem to take a warm interest in the products of the Berlin piano factory. They use the Wessell, Nickel & Gross action, and are very enthusiastic from the results attained with the mechanism which bears the imprint of this celebrated firm.

The organ side of the business was fairly steady through the years, with most of the surviving instruments found today were made between an 11 year period from 1891 to 1902. There were a number of styles of Berlin organs, but the style would often just be a slight modification to the case. I have noticed that after 1900, the wood and finish quality of case construction greatly diminished, from solid walnut and bird's eye maple, to low quality thin veneers and a stain that appears to be like a semi-translucent paint to cover the blemishes.

On August 22, 1904, Bailiff Huber seized the remaining stock of the company and the $7000 chattel mortgage was foreclosed. There was also a $21000 mortgage on the building and plant. The Berlin Piano & Organ Company was no more, and the building was marketed for sale.

A short while later, in October 1904, W.M. Snyder purchased the assets to Berlin P & OC. Their plan was to have Snyder & Co pianos manufactured in the building and on the market 'shortly'.

By July 1906, the building was still considered the Berlin Piano & Organ Co, even though no Berlin labeled instruments were made here. This was when E.P Hawkins with the American firm Foster-Armstrong purchased the factory.

Notes:

Friedrich Guggisberg (referred to as "Frederick" Guggisberg in commercial business directories) was the founder of one of Preston's earliest furniture works. Born in Uetendorf, Canton Bern, Switzerland in 1818, he came to Canada in 1834 with two older sisters and their families. In Preston, they joined two older brothers, Johann and Samuel. In 1838, Frederick started his own cabinetmaking shop, which grew from making chairs to a diversified manufacturing concern, making desks, tables and some of the first barrel type patented revolving drawer desks and high roll-top desks in Canada. The finest designs were sent to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. At one time, the Guggisberg furniture works was the largest employer in Preston. Involved in community affairs, in 1852, Frederick was a member of Preston's first village council. He is buried in the Old Preston Cemetery on Fountain Street, Cambridge.

After Guggisberg's death in 1888, his three sons took over the business and later sold out their interest. The business became the Preston Furniture Company, manufacturing office desks. This company was sold to Percy Hilborn in 1919, and became consolidated with Hilborn's Canadian Office and School Furniture Company in 1928.

Frederick S. Guggisberg described as the father of the furniture industry in Waterloo County. He was born in Usterdorf, Berne, Switzerland on Sep 19th, 1818. He came to Canada in 1834 following two brothers John and Samuel who had come two years earlier. John settled in Preston and Samuel Galt where he was a store keeper. Samuel's son also named Frederick operated a dry goods store called the Waterloo House at the corner of Main and Water Streets until his death in 1873.

Upon his arrival in Canada Frederick S. first settled in Dundas where he worked 1 year in a cabinet ship completing his training. He moved to Preston where his brother John operated a butcher shop and tavern called "The Black Bear" In 1838 he opened a small furniture shop beside the Speed River where he made chairs, tables, desks and coffins. He was a founding member of the Preston Horticultural Society. He served on Preston's first town council. He retired in 1879 turning it over to his sons who sold out in 1891, the business was later known as the Preston Furniture Co.

___________________________

In 1841, Frederick Guggisburg started making chairs in Preston. Later he expanded his line to include pieces of furniture which were made largely by hand of such exquisite design and splendid workmanship that he found his limited space inadequate to cope with the demand from people who could afford to pay his price and wanted pieces of really fine furniture for their homes.

Some of this old Guggisburg furniture is still to be encountered here and there in homes where its present owners continue to admire the lovely lines and count it priceless. It is not for sale.

On December 11th, 1849, Jacob Hespeler invoiced Mr. Guggisburg in Preston with 11,281 feet of maple two by fours (sawn here) at $13.00 per M feet. This was probably used in making furniture. Prior to 1846 there was a carpenter here named Adam Hess who owned a house property on the north side of Queen Street east of Harvey. He had previously purchased the property from Michael Bergey and through it ran a small creek which carried water from several springs on the side hill down to the river.

In 1863, Hess sold his property to Fred. Guggisburg and in 1864 was tenant of the house on it. In 1866, Fred. Guggisburg is rated as owner of two acres on the north side of Queen Street, evidently the Hess lot, and other property between it and the river. In this year, George Guenther appears as Tenant of the Hess house. In 1871, Mr. Guenther bought one-fifth of an acre from Guggisburg, probably the house where he was living as tenant. The year following, that is, 1872, Guggisburg goes out of our picture and Mr. Guenther is shown as owner.

Previously, on March 5th, 1861, Guenther purchased from Joseph Oberholtzer seventy-four and three-quarters perches of land, part of lot ten, in the second concession, that is west of Harvey Street.

Death of Frederick Guggisberg, Esq., of Preston - On Wednesday morning the sad intelligence reached us that our old and genial friend, Mr. Frederick Guggisberg, had suddenly expired at his residence in Preston, and inquiry soon proved the truth of the distressing report. For some time past, while not interfering with his pursuits or the energy of his life, Mr. Guggisberg complained of severe pains at his heart, which medical men consulted, pronounced of a rheumatic nature. These pains were but transitory, and he paid but little attention to them. On Tuesday he was about the factory his usual cheery, happy self; but on Wednesday morning, shortly after breakfast, a very severe spasm occurred; he fainted, and in but a very few moments passed away.

Mr. Guggisberg was born in the village of Thun, Canton Berne, Switzerland, and came to Canada with his sister, the late Mrs. Mosser, in 1834. He entered at once as an apprentice in a Cabinet Factory in Dundas and, completing his apprenticeship, in 1938, moved to Preston, where he established himself in his business and laid the foundation of what proved wealth for himself and now one of the largest and most successful Furniture Manufactories in the Province. Mr. Guggisberg retired in favor of his sons in 1879, and has since enjoyed wisely and usefully, the competence he had earned in his well spent business life. In 1852, he was married to Miss Ernst, daughter of the late John Ernst, of Petersburg, Mrs. Guggisberg dying in 1861, leaving a family of five children, three sons, viz: - Messrs. Christian and John Guggisberg, of the Preston factory, and Mr. Walter Guggisberg, head of the firm in Galt, and two daughters, Mrs. Philip Boehmer, of Berlin, and Mrs. Allemang, of Preston.

In 1880 Mr. Guggisberg visited his native town in Switzerland, and while there was united in marriage to the estimable lady who now survives him. After a stay of over a year, they returned to Canada, again visiting Switzerland in 1884. Returning from this trip Mr. and Mrs. Guggisberg have since continuously resided at their beautiful residence in Preston. In the wider circle of friends and acquaintances of the deceased gentleman there will be none who will not regret his death. He had the peculiar faculty of making friends and keeping them. He was energetic and industrious in the pursuit of his business, and all his dealings were so pleasant, straightforward and honorable, that his customers became his friends.

His funeral will take place from the family residence at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. He will be interred in Preston Cemetery.

Galt Reporter Mar 2 1888 pg 1

____________________

The Funeral of the Late Mr. F. Guggisberg took place on Friday last on the arrival of the morning train from Toronto. The body was enclosed in a very handsome coffin which on being transferred from the car to the platform of the station was opened for a few minutes, to enable those friends who wished to take a last look at the remains. The body was then placed in the hearse and, preceded by the members of the Masonic Lodges, and followed by a very large concourse of mourners, the cortege proceeded slowly through the streets to Trinity Church, where the services for the dead were read by Dean Boomer and the Rev. Isaac Brock, pastor of the Church From thence the cortege proceeded to Trinity Church Cemetery, where the body was lowered into the grave and where the peculiar and imposing ceremonies of the Masonic Body were performed. The closing services of the English Church were then read, and the last token of respect had been paid to all that was mortal of our old friend. As a token of respect, the stores in town were all closed while the funeral procession passed through the street.

Notes:

Jacob Roos, an Alsatian, worked at his trade of Cooper in a shop John Erb operated in connection with his grist mill at Preston from the early thirties until 1845 when he came to New Hope and opened a cooper shop at the extreme west end of the Hamlet, on the south side of the front road to Galt, in a building which many will remember as the "Log Cabin".

Here Mr. Roos made both types of barrels, the flour barrels for some of the mills around, and tight barrels for some of the numerous distilleries then to be found hereabouts.

Richard Gowling worked for him making loose barrels from 1866 till 1887 and his son, Nelson, worked with him in 1866 and 1867 and another son, Richard Gowling Jr., in 1867.

Mr. Roos taught the coopering to Conrad Sachs, whose brother, John, was married to a daughter of Mr. Roos. My first record of Conrad is July 19th, 1854, the last, 1862, when he appears to have gone to Buffalo where some of his descendents still reside. As my record comes from Hespeler's books it looks as if Conrad first learned the trade with Mr. Roos and then went to work in Hespeler's Cooperage.

Mr. Roos Sr. taught both trades to his son, Jacob Roos, who appears to have taken over the shop about 1871 and he continued to operate it until he died in 1907.

He made chiefly flour barrels which he delivered with a one-horse waggon fitted with a rack which held 65 barrels. Old timers will remember seeing these loads of barrels passing along Queen Street on the way to Kribs' Mill.

Another son, Edward Roos, learned Coopering with his father and apparently upon completion of his apprenticeship which must have included the tight barrel making he went in 1871 (when young Jake took over the shop) to work for Mr. Hespeler where he remained till 1876. Mr. Ed. Sachs, born 1868, nephew of Edward Roos, told me his Uncle Ed. was in charge of the shop for Hespeler.

Mr. Hespeler's Cooper Shop was in the stone building, which with additions made subsequently, is now The Hydro-Electric Power Station.
