• Notes

  A SWELL RIG. "My Valet," V. M. Berlet, the enterprising tailor of Waterloo, now owns the swellest delivery outfit in the Twin-City and few of its equal are to be found in Ontario, only in the larger cities. It is a rubber-tired rig, handsomely painted and beautifully finished with large oblong mirrors on each side and is not only credit to Mr. Berlet, but to the maker, Mr. J.R. Kaufman. The new harness and pony together with the driver are in keeping with the rig, which he will use in his call and delivery service in connection with his cleaning and repairing department. Mr. Berlet will give special attention to garments needing repairing, sponging, pressing, etc. A dollar a month paid quarterly in advance will entitle gentleman to a weekly service. The Chronicle Telegraph (190101), 16 Jul 1903, p. 5
