Notes:

The Firm of Schreiter, Berlin's Largest Retail Furniture House.

No review of the growth of Berlin would be complete without a notice upon Schreiters, Berlin's greatest furniture establishment. Schreiter's is wothy of notice in many ways. For thirteen years it has been on King St. Starting in a small way at 52 King St., it now occupies its own building at 63 and five floors covering fifteen thousand feet are filled with medium and high class furniture, and the upholstering department alone occupies one whole floor and is justly noted for its fine work.

Schreiter's is noticeable for yet another fact. It is owned still by its founder, Mr. A. G. Schreiter, who in 1873 started in the furniture career in Boutzin, Germany\emdash always leaning to the higher class furniture and decorative effects. To-day he is ably assisted by Mr. Herbert C. Schreiter and owing to the continuous growth of the business has just been joined by Mr Armand A. Schreiter.

For fourteen years Mr. A. G. Schreiter was foreman for the Simpson factory; he then started out for himself and the best evidence of his success is the present store\emdash the largest in size and stock and carrying by far the largest variety of furniture of any furniture store in Waterloo County.

Thirty-nine years in the furniture business is out of the ordinary, but then Schreiter's, which is known as the " House of Quality," is personally supervised by an out of the ordinary mind.
Asked to what he attributed his success, Mr. A. G. Schreiter remarked: "The carrying out of my early training of thoroughness. What's worth doing at all, is worth not only doing well, but doing a little better than is expected."

That probably explains the success of his upholstering department. This branch of the business employs only the highest paid men and no piece work is allowed, everything is by the salary system. "Good work is slow work," said Mr. Schreiter, "but it pays in the end, for good upholstering tells its tale as the years go by."

When one hears Mr. Schreiter enlarge upon Period Styles in furniture; hears him talk upon complementary wall treatments; the arrangement of wall and window spaces in dining-rooms to accommodate sideboards, buffets, chairs of style desired; you at once know you are in touch with a man who believes in and practices intrinsic goodness in furniture and makes it the keynote of his business.

In these days when too often cheapness runs riot to the regret ultimately of the buyer, it is refreshing to hear Quality set first and linked with a fair profit.

As Mr. A. G. Schreiter tersely put it\emdash every piece of furniture upon our fifteen thousand feet of floor space is guaranteed to be the best in style, material, workmanship and FINISH in its class; our goods run from the medium good, which will cost less than "cheap" furniture else-where, up to the finest suites and individual pieces known.

Here and there on the floors can be seen dainty pieces upholstered by Schreiters after the various Periods. Here a Chippendale, there a Sheraton, over there a Colonial, opposite it and in direct contrast a piece in Art Nouveau. Just beyond is a Suite for the Dining-room in Mission, flat, quaint, unadorned, plain and of solid construction. It is pleasing because of its oddity. and satisfactory proportions, suggesting repose, comfort and suitability for modest homes. Schreiter's is a striking example of the success which comes from selling dependable good goods.

Yet another point worthy of comment in regard to Schreiter's is that it is a permanent business for Berlin. They own their five-storey building, all their capital is in and working for Berlin; for nearly twenty years Mr. A. G. Schreiter has been in the furniture business here and now his two sons are also in the business to assist in its rapid growth and to perpetuate the success of the founder.

As Mr. A. G. Schreiter also put it, "Schreiter's is a Berlin Institution, here to stay, all our eggs are in one basket and we are satisfied to grow with Berlin and to urge on the city which by its patronage has built up this the largest furniture business in Waterloo County." Good sentiments. We need such men, we need such firms.

(Just as this section of the book is printed Schreiter's have bought the Simpson Building and stock; doubling their store capacity.)

A. G. Schreiter Is Dead at 82

Was One of Leading Furniture Retailers

Alvin George Schreiter. 82, known for years as one of Ontario's leading furniture retailers, died at the family residence, 89 Queen Street North, last night. He had been in failing health for some time.

Born in Germany July 26, 1859, he came to Canada and this city in 1885 when he entered the employ of William Simpson Co. Ltd., remaining with the firm until 1900. In 1899 he organized Schreiter's Limited which developed into a five-floor establishment and became one of the largest retail furniture stores in the province.

He also conducted an undertaking business for a number of years, finally establishing the Schreiter Funeral Home in 1929. In 1914 he organized the DeLuxe Upholstery Company. The late Mr. Schreiter opened his furniture store originally at 52 King Street West and subsequently purchased the Simpson building as the first step in the development of the large establishment.

Mr. Schreiter was a member of the I.O.O.F. and also the Woodmen of the World. He was the son of Julius Schreiter and in 1888 married Magdalena Schaefer at Petersburg. Mrs. Schreiter predeceased him: Two sons, Stanley and Armand, also predeceased him. Stanley was killed In France in 1917 serving with a battery unit.

He is survived by one son, Herbert C., who was associated with him in the furniture enterprise and one daughter, Mrs. A. Walton, at home. Eight grandchildren also survive.

The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from the Schreiter-Sandrock Funeral Home at 2:30 in the afternoon with interment at the Petersburg Cemetery. Rev. A. W. Lotz, pastor of St. Peter's Church, will officiate. The remains will be resting at the funeral home until the services.
