Notes
Louis Weber was in the jewelry business on N. Queen St. since the 19th century. It was at 165 N. Queen that his son George R. Weber apparently took over the business and took on a new name -- Louis Weber & Son. This was the listing in the 1905-06 City Directory. By the next year in the 1907-08 Directory, the business was relocated to 15-17 N. Queen Street, the address printed on the box lid.
