• Notes

  In 1886 John Limpert opened a shop [barber shop] where Cliff Krieg is now and after ten years there he rented the space to The Merchants Bank of Canada who opened here that year, and moved his shop into the front portion of the present Robert Scott store and opened a billiard and pool room in rear. His first shop was in charge of his brother, Harry Limpert, who was assisted by another brother, Irwin, and by John himself on a busy night. Fred Coughlin was in charge at the second shop until John quit the business. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954 _____________________ In 1874 J. N. Goebel bought a car load of Red Herring on track at Guelph. A load some merchant had ordered, then refused. And he got them cheap. He disposed of part of the shipment off the car to local merchants and others and arranged with David Rife Sr. to haul the rest to Hespeler. It was the dead of winter, deep snow, roads badly drifted and only a single track to Guelph. Jack Limpert, then 16, who was working for Mr. Rife (and who, by the way, told me the story) was sent with a hay rack on a bob sleigh to do the hauling. The fish were cleaned and smoked, and packed, with heads and tails on, in flat wooden boxes containing about a dozen. Jack went to Guelph and got his fish loaded after some delay, and by noon was coming along through the hills near Squire Phin's when he saw another rig coming and turned off to give him half the road; which was the thing to do. His load upset and there he was. It happened that the approaching rig was a load of soft drinks. The driver, a decent chap about Jack's own age, anchored his team with the weight and pitched in to give Jack a hand to get going again. By the time they got back on the road and the fish reloaded both boys were warm and tired and they sat down on a hard snow bank to rest. The hour was something after one and both boys were hungry so Jack broke open a box of Herrings, the other boy a couple of bottles of pop and they sat there and had a lunch. Red Herring and Ginger Ale. And Jack said it tasted good. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954
