Notes

Mr. J. L. Eidt.

For two years the business world Berlin has numbered as one of its most valued members Mr. J. L. Eidt, whose place of business is at No. 17 Benton St. Mr. Eidt is a Waterloo County boy and for many years prior to coming to Berlin conducted a large seed and feed store in Hespeler. He is enterprising and progressive and in the two years that he has conducted the flour and feed store here, he has more than doubled the trade. Mr. Eidt always stocks the best quality of flour, wheat and poultry supplies and seeds of all kinds in bulk for package, for lawn, field or farm. He carries the most popular brands of flour for bakery or pastry use and there is nothing required by the poultry user that is not found in his store. Whether as a citizen or a business man, Mr. Eidt is an asset Berlin would be sorry to lose.
