VERNON’S BERLIN # W A T E R L O O STREET, ALPHABETICAL, BUSINESS AND MISCELLANEOUS DIRECTORY FOR THE YEARS 1897 to 1899 HENRY VERNON, Publisher, Head Office, Hamilton, Ont. Griffin & Kipner, Printers, 58 King W illiam S i\, Hamilton, PREFACE. PU BLISH ER, in presenting his first edition of the B e r l in a n d W a t e r l o o D ir e c t o r y , thanks the people for the liberal support he has received, and hopes that the Directory will prove a useful and convenient guide. Of course,'in a book of this kind (the first ever published of Berlin and Waterloo), it is utterly impossible to avoid errors, and although local men were employed to gather the information, the absence of house numbers and street names, together with the different languages used by the citizens, made the work extremely difficult. The work will be published by me every two years, and I hope that the business men who want the very best in this line will reserve their orders till they see me. Wishing them and the two towns every prosperity, I remain, HENRY VERNON, Head Office, Hamilton, d ir e c t o r y p u b l i s h e r . Sept, ist, 1897.
