• Notes

  This large and well known general mercantile establishment is under the management of Mr. J. G. Peppler, a gentleman widely known in Waterloo county. He has had many years' experience in his present calling. He was for three years employed by that old and experienced merchant, Mr. N. S. Bowman, of Conestogo, and for four years with Mr. Isaac Wenger at Ayton. He came here in the fall of 1892 and commenced business which he has carried on with good success to this day. Mr. Peppler in his time, like many others of the human family, has met with business reverses, but undaunted he has succeeded in overcoming all obstacles and is to-day one of the leading businessmen of Waterloo county. He commenced here on a small scale and has gradually increased until now he controls as large a business as there is in this section. The building which holds his mammoth stock is a two-story structure 60x54 feet in dimensions. The lower story is packed with general merchandise consisting of dry goods, boots and shoes, groceries, wall paper, glassware and crockery. In an adjoining room is the millinery department which is well stocked with everything of the latest style required in that line. The display of crockery and glassware is large and in endless variety, the tableware being particularly attractive and up-to-date. Mr. Peppler takes in a large amount of farm produce during the year, for which he pays the highest market price in trade. He does a cash business and pays cash for his goods, a system that enables him to sell at a lower margin than the merchant who does an extensive credit business. Mr. Peppler was born near Heidelberg in 1859. He was married in 1887 to Miss Ella, daughter of Mr. William Cole, of Conestogo. She was born in that village in 1863. They have been blessed with two children. They live in apartments over the store. The venerable parents of Mr. Peppler are at this writing with him on a visit from New Hamburg. The father, Mr. George Peppler, is one of the oldest residents of Wellesley township, coming here from the Province of Upper Hesse Darmstadt in 1841. He was born there in 1819, being now in the 79th year of his age He lived for many years near Heidelberg. He is an uncle to Mr. George Peppler, blacksmith of Waterloo. The mother, now 73 years of age, was also born in Germany. She came to this country when six years of age. The venerable couple have also experieneed the hardships of life, but they are still apparently smart, considering their weight of years, and their pleasures now in the twilight of life is in visiting their children. Mr. Peppler has been in business all told about eleven years. He is of a pleasant and sociable disposition, characteristics in a citizen that compel the stranger to speak in words of praise of the community when he leaves its environments.
