Notes - W.L. Schmidt, General Merchandise, Golden Lion Store, King Street East - In Berlin there is a good deal of barter transacted between the farmers and storekeepers, the farmers bringing in produce and exchanging it for other commodities. On this account there are many stores where groceries, dry goods, glassware, etc., are kept in general stock. Holding a prominent place among those doing business in this manner is Mr. W.L. Schmidt, whose store is located on King Street East, where he has been established for the past five years. The premises occupied are 24x100 feet in dimensions, and are stocked with a large and well assorted stock of dry goods, groceries, glassware, etc., carefully selected, and sold at the lowest market value either for cash or in exchange. The business since its inception has increased steadily year by year, and shows at present marked tendencies to further development. Mr. Schmidt gives employment to three competent and obliging assistants on an average throughout the year. He is a native of Canada, and a capable and enterprising business man, who, by hard work and close attention, has built up his business to its present standpoint. He is a member of the Berlin Board of Trade, an organization productive of much good in business matters, and is a gentleman highly esteemed in the community.
