H. J. STIEFELMEYER.

There are few men in the average business walks of life that have their time more taken up in mercantile pursuits than the well known gentleman above named - especially in a village of less than fifteen hundred inhabitants. Mr. Stiefelmeyer was born in Rochester, N. Y, in 1853, but he is thoroughly Canadianized, having come to Canada when quite a young lad. He is a practical jeweller by trade, and has been engaged in the jewelry business in New Hamburg for the past twenty two years. But his business interests do not end in that line. His next venture was in the boot and shoe trade, which is now the most extensive in that line in New Hamburg. The business is exclusively boots and shoes, and the best that can be procured in the wholesale market. He also employes several experienced shoemakers to accommodate those of his patrons who may desire first-class neat fitting footwear made to order or repairing done.

In addition to his boot and shoe and jewelry business, Mr. S. owns one of the largest livery stables in Waterloo county. This establishment is well equipped with fine and stylish turnouts. Nine horses are kept for the purpose.

In the jewelry department Mr. S. is prepared to successfully compete with any of the jewelers of the larger towns of the county. In fact it is surprising to realize how a village the size of New Hamburg can afford such a large display of elegant and costly jewelry. But Mr. S. believes in the theory that in order to do business properly you must keep a stock to meet all demands. Costly goods are cheapest in the end. Those not aware of the fact that diamonds valued at hundreds of dollars each are on sale in this establishment would scarcely believe that an ordinary county could afford such a luxury. It is, nevertheless, so here. Mr. Stiefelmeyer's display of watches, both gold and silver, is fully equal to any found outside the large city establishments. The gold watch display is decidedly a tempting one for display is decidedly a tempting one for the man or woman who has the necessary collateral and admires a costly and beautiful standard time-piece. The clock display is also magnificent, the stock being in great variety and one that is bound to attract the attention of everybody who enters the premises. The great collection of costly and fashionable jewelry of every description is a feast for the eyes of lovers of personal adornment. In the latter line there can be found almost every article to please the most fastidious votary of fashion and style.

Heretofore and up to the present writing, Mr. Stiefelmeyer's jewelry store and boot and shoe department have been located in different buildings separated some distance from each other, but by the time this reaches. CHRONICLE readers he will be established in elegant new quarters in the Commercial House block. Here both branches will be under one roof, but in separate rooms. It is an admirable location and will render the task of looking after both much more convenient. Each room has been painted, papered and otherwise neatly and conveniently arranged. At night the establishment will be brilliantly illuminated by the acetylene gas process, a light that has recently become somewhat popular throughout the country.

While Mr. S. gives his personal attention to three different branches of business he still finds time to attend to his duties as a member of the village council and as President of the New Hamburg Manufacturing Company. He was elected a member of the village council about ten years ago and in the that capacity he has shown executive ability as well as proving himself an enterprising and successful business man and a popular citizen.
