Notes:

ERNST & CRESSMAN.

These gentlemen possess individually those qualities that seem to complement each other and thus render their partnership a pronounced commercial success. They conduct a general store and their good judgment and level headed business methods have won for them a generous slice of trade. It is about a dozen years since Mr. Noah Cressman, then a prosperous merchant in an adjacent village, came to New Hamburg and joined hands with Mr. Jacob Ernst, who for over a score of years had been prominent in New Hamburg commercial life. Their stock of dry goods, groceries and crockery is always carefully selected and this fact, with fair prices and square dealing, has gained for them the confidence of the buying public. "It is a good store," say those who know. Mr. Ernst is a member of the Public School Board, having been secretary since 1888 and Treasurer since 1901.
