Waterloo Chronicle 6 Jan 1927, p. 3 _________ George Harrison, Merchant Tailor, King Street - Among the business houses in Berlin which have been more recently established, and which are on the high road to success, must be mentioned that of Mr. George Harrison, merchant tailor, whose establishment is eligibly located on King Street. This gentleman established the business one and a half years ago, which since its inception has steadily developed. The premises occupied by him are 22x45 feet in dimensions, and suitably fitted up for the requirements of the business conducted. Mr. Harrison gives employment to several skilled hands, and being a practical workman himself, superintends all the details of the business, ensuring satisfaction in all respects. He carries a large stock of woollens, tweeds, etc., for trouserings, coats, overcoats, etc., of the best imported goods from which to select. The cut and fit of the garments made by him are not to be surpassed in town, a fact already acknowledged by his many customers. Mr. Harrison is a native of Canada, and is a persevering and capable business man, and deserving of the success he is achieving.
