SUMMARY
=======
The Waterloo Manufacturing Company, Ltd.  was a Canadian farm engine builder based in Waterloo, Ontario, which built engines in sizes ranging from sixteen  to thirty horsepower between 1880 and 1925.
Jacob Bricker was born in 1818 in Waterloo, Ontario, and learned the trade of blacksmith. He went into the farm machinery business in 1850 and began to sell threshing machines. He also made horse-powered gins to power the implements. In about 1880 he started building portable steam engines.  A buyout by businessman E. Snider combined the machine end with a plow maker, and small engine builder Haggard and established the Waterloo brand using the Lion marque. Of note for the engines were a roaring lion on the smokebox door, a handwheel for a damper, diamond chimney stack and round spoked wheels.
Waterloo Manufacturing of Ontario is occasionally confused with the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company, of Waterloo, Iowa, U.S., which was purchased by John Deere for its popular Waterloo Boy Tractor. No relationship between the companies exists.
In the 1920s and 30's Waterloo Mfg served as Canadian distributors for many U.S. built brands including  Hart Parr, Rock Island Heider, Rock Island, Belle City, Twin Cities, Minneapolis-Moline.
Waterloo Manufacturing continues to sell and service industrial boilers.
