  • Notes 
    • JACOB CONRAD,

      One of the establishments of our town which transacts the largest annual volume of business is that carried on by Mr. J. Conrad, extensive dealer in all kinds of shelf and heavy hardware, stoves, ranges, etc Though it is well known that this house has built up an extensive trade, yet many of our readers may have but a meagre conception of the extent of the business done or the stock carried. The store from the front presents a splendid appearance but to anyone not familiar with the establishment, a very faint idea of its contents. The special representative of the CHRONICLE made a brief visit to the store and was much impressed with the extent of the stock carried and the expeditious methods of doing business. This institution is a credit to Waterloo as well as to its proprietor.
