  J. P. Luckhardt was born in Berlin, whence he removed with his parents to Normanby Township and later to Maryboro Township. He came to Elmira in 1875, served his time at the harness-making trade with Mr. A. Steinmann and commenced business on his own account in 1878. He embarked in the hardware business in 1896. He was councillor of the Village of Elmira several years, has been a member of the Elmira School Board during the last eight years and is now Chairman. He is also agent for the Confederate Life Assurance Company and is a properous and enterprising citizen, who is at all times disposed to do his share towards advancing the towns' interests. He attends personally to the supervision of the harness department of his growing business. In addition to his harness trade Mr. Luckhardt conducts a large hardware, wood and coal business. He carries a large stock of shelf and heavy hardware, paints and oil, glass, tinware, stoves etc. and has a tinsmithing department which is conducted by good and experienced mechanics, who do all kinds of outside work, such as eavetroughing, roofing, etc. as well as bench work and repairing.

It is a part of the old Winger & Weaver Woolen factory. The latter, the first indusdry of note in this town, was established in 1856, by Peter Winger and Samuel Weaver who were prominent among the early settlers in this vicinity. They commenced operations in 1856 and continued to run it until 1873, when Mr. Henry Winger, son of the well known member of the firm, took charge and operated it until 1883, and after that in company with his brother, J. B. Winger, until 1895, at which time they added the felt manufactory. It was then operated by J. B. Winger and Amasa Winger for short one year, when in the spring of 1896, a joint stock company was formed and the plant improved and placed on a more extensive scale. The company is made up of some of the leading and most responsible citzens of the town, viz: Henry Winger, J. B. Winger, Amasa Winger, J. P. Lackhardt, Weber & Erb, M. Weichel, J. S. Weichel, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler, David Snider, Chas. Klinck and son George, Henry Mogk and Isaac Hilborn. Board of Directors: A. H Erb, President; Henry Winger, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler and J. P. Luckhardt, John Peel, Treasurer and general manager. They manufacture both leather and felt goods, and the class of work turned out is equal in style, workmanship, finish and material to that of any other establishment of the kind in Ontario. There is a steady demand for about all the company can manufacture with their present facilities, most of their goods going to the Northwest and the Maritime Provinces. From twenty-five to thirty hands are employed. The factory is equipped with the latest and best improved machinery, and a walk through the building when all hands are at work will convince any person that experienced workmen are employed and that great care is exercised in putting the material together in a way that must produce a popular and durable article. The very latest styles of footwear are turned out. The company still continues the woolen factory and manufactures fine tweeds, flannels blankets and other woolen goods, and are always prepared for custom work. Waterloo County Chronicle 27 Jan 1898, p. 3 ____________ J. P. LUCKHARDT. Mr. Luckhardt came to Elmira in 1875 and commenced to learn the harness trade under Mr. Albert Steinman. In 1878 he bought the latter out, and which branch of his business he still continues. On July 13th, 1896, be purchased the business of Wm. Wachsmuth, and moved to the present premises in the spring of 1897. For the first six months the firm name was Luckhardt & Co, when later on Mr. Luckhardt assumed the entire business. The firm now carries a full line of hardware, stoves and tinware, and in addition manufacture all kinds of harness and do repair work. They also keep on hand a full line of robes, trunk, valises, whips, etc. Mr. Luckhardt was married on Feb. 20th, 1878, to Miss Mary Jane, only daughter of Mr. Isaac Stinson. They have been blessed with seven children. He is the local agent of the Confederation Life Association, a member of the Board of Directors of the Shoefelt Co., and a member of the Emira School Board. Mr. Luckhardt has. handled several thousand cords of wood during the past year. Mr. Thos. Sherington, a capable and obliging business man, has charge of the books. The large storeroom has no empty shelves, and everything to be found in a first class modern hardware store or harness shop can be had here. Waterloo County Chronicle, 27 Jan 1898, p. 3
