Description

In 1873, J.M. Staebler was working as an insurance broker in the newly named village of Berlin, Ontario from an office in his own home on Queen Street. By the First World War the population of Berlin was over 15,000 and the community came under pressure to change their name to avoid the appearance of disloyalty to the war effort. A contest was held and Lord Kitchener inspired the selection of the new name. J.M. Staebler died in 1906 leaving the brokerage to his son, H.L. Staebler. The business was incorporated in 1923 and the third generation of Staeblers, Keith, soon afterwards joined the business.
