...Call him Peter … Peter Erb Shantz, born in 1849, to Samuel Y. and Esther (Erb) Shantz. Samuel farmed while Esther raised 13 children at a once-dreamt-of community called Shantz Station about halfway along Highway 7 between Berlin and Guelph.
In his early 20s, Peter was already manufacturing farm implements in Elmira with partner Abraham Z. Detweiler.
Meanwhile, Preston village council was eager to attract industries, so with a $5,000 bonus as the carrot, Shantz and Detweiler agreed to move south.
Backtracking to the early 1850s, Valentine Wahn, John Clare and Jacob Beck operated an iron foundry business on the main road connecting Preston and Berlin.
The frame factory was near the Speed River at the foot of a steep hill. Beck left in 1856, moving to Wilmot Township where he founded Baden. Clare too backed out, so Wahn took over, specializing in making cast-iron stoves.
In 1875, with part of the bonus money, Shantz and Detweiler purchased Wahn's building and established Preston Agricultural Works.

Fire struck in 1883 and Detweiler sold out.
As sole owner, Peter Shantz constructed a solid brick and stone building on the same site and for the next 50 years he produced top-of-the-line farm machinery, warm air furnaces, sleighs and warehouse trucks.
Peter's civic involvement went beyond manufacturing. He was a councillor and deputy-reeve in Preston, sat on the school board, and was the driving force behind erecting Preston's town hall in 1887.
In the 1900 federal election, he placed a close second to George Clare in Waterloo South.
Peter Shantz died in 1928 but the company lasted another four decades. In 1969, it shut down and the property was sold to a Toronto developer who hoped to put up a 12-storey apartment. In 2018, the exact site of his factory is part of the widened intersection at the bottom of Preston, er, Shantz hill....

Succumbs To Heart Attack At Moore Street Home; President, Board Of Trade

Suffering a heart attack at ten o'clock Sunday morning, Ald. Frederick Robert Shantz passed away at his home on Moore street shortly afterward. His passing came with tragic suddenness as he was said to be recovering from the effects of a similar shock a week ago. Word of the paasing of Ald. Shantz cast a profound gloom over municipal circles of Preston where he was popularly known. Mayor Mark M. Donald when acquainted with Ald. Shantz' s death expressed profound regret. Other municipal officers as well as N. 0. Hipel, M.P.P., expressed a note of sorrow in his sudden demise.

Board of Trade President

In the death of Ald. Fred R. Shants the Preston Board of Trade loses its president. He had been a valued member of that organisation for some years having held the chief executire office in 1931 and was returned by acclamation this year at the annual meeting in January. The late Mr. Shantz had climbed steadily in the board holding office first in 1929 when he was elected to the second vice-presidency. In 1930 he was vice-president. Of a keen progressive mind, Ald. Shantz took an active interest in the Board of Trade. He was particularly anxious that more industries should be secured for the town. One of his last acts on behalf of the board was to aid in the preparation of material for industrial publication which the board is sponsoring. Carrying his activities further abroad, Ald. Shantz was chairman of the industrial committee of the Grand River Valley Boards of Trade. In this connection he represented Preston at the various meetings of that body throughout the valley. Because of its scope and possibilities, the late alderman was particularly enthusiastic over the Grand River Valley Boards of Trade.

Alderman since 1929

As an alderman the late Fred Shantz was very conscientious. He was elected in 1929 and that year started preparation of the building bylaw being chairman of the bylaws committee. The following year, 1930, he was reelected and was placed in charge of the industrial committee of the council, a post which he has held until his death. Through the late alderman's initiative considerable advancement was made towards the improvement of the Galt-Preston highway, a project that he worked at diligently in the hopes that eventually that dangerous thoroughfare would be bettered. Only a few days before his illness Ald. Shantz had been in communication with Premier Henry regarding the highway situation and he confidently felt that the present year would see some definite steps taken as an unemployment aid. Ald. Shantz 's last appearance in public office was at the last meeting of the.town council when he delivered a lengthy criticism of Hydro administration. A lifelong Liberal. Ald. Shantz was generally looked upon as candidate for that party in the next federal election. He was nominated at the last contention the party had in South Waterloo losing the nomination to C. R. Widdifield of Galt by a single vote.

Born In Preston

The late Fred Shantz was born in Preston, son of the late Peter E. Shantz and Mrs. Shantz of Church street, on October 12, 1875 and was in his 57th year. After receiving his primary education at local public schools he attended Galt Collegiate institute and after graduation from there entered the foundry. Leaving that institution he went to Toronto where he was with the advertising departments of the Mail and Empire and The Globe between 1908 and 1914. For a time he was with the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada in Toronto and later was connected with that company in Detroit to which city he was transferred from Toronto. For some years he was in Cleveland and St. Louis. The late alderman returned to Preston in 1927 assuming the trusteeship of the P. E. Shantz estate. As a director for Preston of the Waterloo Historical Society, the late Ald. Shantz was much interested in its activities. He was also president of the Shantz Reunion held in Waterloo in 1920. One of the citizens interested in bringing the Dominion Motor Sleigh Company, Limited, to Preston, the late Ald. Shantz was Secretary, of that firm. He was also a member of the Preston Business Men's Club and on the executive of the South Waterloo Liberal Association. He is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Bertha Cable of Toronto. Two brothers, Cyrus B. of Preston and Samuel P. of Toronto and three sisters, Mr. John G. Gardiner of Regina, Sask., Mrs. Leon Archibald of Minneapolis Minn. and Minnie B. Shantz, also of Minneapolis, survive.
