• Notes

  J. N. Zinkann. As you enter the village from almost any direction on either of the four public highways that concentrate here, the large new brick mercantile establishment and residence combined, owned by the above named gentleman, looms up conspicuously. The structure is two stories in height with a frontage of 60 feet and a depth of 73 feet. The mercantile. department was erected about eight years ago, and the residence addition about one year ago. The former is a commodious affair, and probably contains as much floor space any other village mercantile establishment in the Province. Mr. Zinkann commenced business here fifteen years ago. He is a man who can not be credited with having spent any of his time in idleness since his boyhood days. He was born at Hamburg in 1839 Until he was able to take care of himself he spent his life upon the farm. His ambition seems to have drifted toward dairying, and he is to day about as extensively engaged in that industry as any other one man in the dairy districts. Prior to coming here he was engaged in cheesemaking and farming at Lisbon, and now owns a fine farm of 154 acres near that village which is under the management of his son, Charles S. He also is the owner of a farm of 100 acres, a short distance south of Crosshill, managed by Mr. William Beilstein. Mr. Zinkann is also Secretary and Treasurer of the Crosshill Creamery Co. The greater portion of his time is now taken up in buying up for export the output of the various creameries throughout Waterloo, Wellington, Huron, Grey and Bruce. During the course of a year his purchases of butter are very extensive. His family has all grown up, and he is now ably assisted in his vast business interests by several of his sons. His father was for many years a prominent and well known carpenter of Hamburg. The mercantile business is under the management of Mr. Eph. Zinkann, his son. The latter was born at Lisbon in 1866, and through a thorough training derived from the ripe experience of his father, he has achieved good success as a business man. To take a glance at the great array of staple goods in the general; merchandise line, the neatness with which they are arranged, and the fresh, clean appearance of the large sales- room will convince one of that fact. The stock comprises dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes, hats and caps, hardware, glassware, queensware, crockery, etc; in fact, anything required in a modern general mercantile establishment can be found here, and as cheap as it can be found anywhere. They both wholesale and retail. Io connection there is a well equipped dressmaking emporium, where the ladies of the surrounding community can be accommodated with the latest patterns in fabrics and neat fitting wearing apparel. The dry goods department also contains a very large stock of tweeds, worsted goods, gents' furnishings, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say, considering the large and endless variety of his stock, that Mr. Zinkann is the Wannamaker of this section.
