      _______________________

      E.K. Snyder, Dealer in Fine Boots and Shoes, King Street - Among the many business industries of any community, that which deals in boots and shoes is an important one. Boots and shoes are a necessity at any season of the year, but more especially in our Canadian winters they are an absolute requirement. Among those engaged in this line of business in Berlin worthy of special mention is Mr. E.K. Snyder, whose establishment is located on King Street East. The business was founded two years ago, and since its inception has made very satisfactory progress. The premises occupied are 19x80 feet in dimensions, and consist of one story. The store is eligibly situated on the main business thoroughfare, and near the market and post office. Mr. Snyder keeps a large and carefully selected stock of ladies' and gents', youths' and children's boots, shoes and rubbers, from the finest of kid to the heavy and most serviceable kip suitable for farm wear or winter use. He keeps one assistant, and his trade, which is very fair, extends throughout the town and surrounding sections of country. Mr. Snyder is a native of Canada, and is a persevering and hard-working business man, and well deserving of patronage and success, which he appears to be on a fair way of attaining, for he sells the best quality of goods at prices that cannot be beaten.
