    Stuebing & Smith, Wholesale Fancy Goods, King St. and Market Square - Holding an honoured and prominent name among the many industries that have contributed to the development and prosperity of Berlin is that of Messrs. Stuebing & Smith, fancy goods merchants, whose premises are located in one of the most handsome brick blocks on King Street, at the corner of Market Square, which is three stories in height and about 140x125 feet in dimensions. When the business was established over 30 years ago it was in a comparatively small way, without a thought that it should ever reach its present vast proportions. It is undoubtedly owing to the energy, thrift and marked business ability of the firm, combined with the handling of nothing but the best and most popular goods in the market, that they have achieved such well-deserved success. The large and greatly varied stock which they specially import consists of almost everything that is embraced under the head of fancy goods, and a specialty is made of wall papers, of which they regularly import the latest and most fashionable designs from the leading manufacturers of Europe. Their stock of general merchandise is probably not surpassed in the Dominion for extent and variety. Tobacconists' sundries, account books, albums, stationery, cutlery, and countless other articles they handle, are complete representations of German, French and American manufacturers' wares in such lines. That the members of the firm control and are constantly extending such a varied and extensive stock proves them to be men of rare business ability and indomitable energy.

    • SUDDEN DEATH OF LOUIS STUEBING

      The death of another of Berlin's old and well-known citizens took place during Monday night when Mr. Louis Stuebing, of the firm of Stuebing & Smith, stationers, was summoned by the Grim Reaper quite unexpectedly at his home, corner Benton and Alma streets. The deceased has been ailing from heart trouble for some months, but he was able to be around. He retired quite early as usual and at an early hour this morning Mrs. Stuebing endeavored to awaken him without avail and found that he was lying cold in death beside her. Heart disease, followed by dropsy, was the cause of death. The deceased was in his 67th year and was born in Germany. He has resided in Berlin for many years and travelled for the firm of Stuebing & Smith, of which he was the senior member. He was twice married, his widow being a sister of Mr. F. Snyder, of this town. He is also survived by two sons, William Henry, near Dunnville, and Edmund in Kentucky.
