    Notes:

    Richard Roschman, Button Works, Queen, Street, Waterloo. The manufacture of vegetable of buttons is one that employs a large amount of capital, and gives employment to many hands. The nut from which the buttons are made is grown in South America in swampy ground. The plant creeps along the ground for about 20 feet, and then rises perpendicularly to a height of from 12 to 18 feet, with large leaves, and flowers containing a cluster of the nuts, weighing on an average about 3 lbs. to the cluster. The outer shell cracks open and allows the nuts to fall to the ground, when they are gathered by the natives and transported to the ports of shipment. Among those prominently engaged in the manufacture of vegetable buttons is Mr. Richard Roschman, whose works are located on Queen [Regina] Street, Waterloo, where his premises consist of a handsome brick structure, 3 1/2 stories in height and 40x110 feet in dimensions; the engine and boiler house being 26x26 feet in dimensions and two stories in height, the engine being 35-horse power. The manufactory contains all the most improved machinery used in this line of manufacture, consisting of saws, borers, turning lathes, etc. Besides the plain buttons the house also manufactures covered once. The trade which is extensive, and which as grown up gradually and steadily, extends throughout the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec and the Lower Provinces. Mr. Roschman has been established in business since 1878, and in September last year removed into his present new building, which he erected specially for the business. He gives employment to 75 skilled hands on an average throughout the year. He is a native of Germany, and by patient industry, coupled with enterprise and ability, has built up an excellent trade.

    Notes:

    Death of an Old Citizen of Berlin

    Says the News of Tuesday:-"Another of our old citizens, Mr. Henry Rothaermel, died today. The deceased has lived in Berlin since it was a very small village-about 40 years we think and always commanded the highest respect of those who knew him best. He was a carpenter by trade and conducted his business in a quiet unostentatious way, thoroughly upright in all his dealings. When the Berlin Market House was put up he was made Market Clerk, and faithfully discharged those duties till he moved to another part of the town when he resigned some six or seven years ago. His health has been feeble for some time and his death was not unexpected. He lived and died a faithful and worthy member of the New Jerusalem Church, which loses one of its best friends by his departure."

The site is now occupied by the Lockhart garage.

Window sashes, panel doors and all other requirements were made in the same manner. A skilled workman at that time was expected to be able to do painting as well as carpenter work. A single room in the shape of a square turret on the ridge of the building was Rev. Tuerk's study. The house was up-hill about twenty feet above the street level so that the study on top gave a good outlook. The site is now occupied by the York Apartments.
