      _______________________

      Wendell B. Sherk, produced stereocards in Waterloo at the turn of the century. His Canadian Stereoscopic View Company catalogue featured many local and national topics. The Canadian View Company of Galt also published local scenes but the actual photographer remains a mystery. The large international firms published very few local scenes.
