isuredid Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 A. Bering and Bro. was the name of the company before Bering & Cortes. I'm not sure what year it started but this advertisement is from 1886. I believe that Cortes was the son-in-law of August Bering. Bering Hardware is still run by descendants of August Bering http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m41/dahornburg/Bering_and_Bro_Ad_1886.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
