asour... LAKEVIEW AQUATIC FARMS 
America’s Oldest Fancy Goldfish Farm 

1892 
Fifty years ago Mr. Joseph A. Brigel, the founder 
of Lakeview, retired from his wholesale merchan- 
dising business to devote his time to his country place 
and to raise flowers and goldfish on his farm. His 
game fish were succeeded by goldfish and he secured 
some of the first Fantail and Telescope fish imported 
into the United States. He was the first in the 
United States to successfully raise fancy goldfish (Fan- 
tails, Telescopes, Moors, etc.) in outside ponds and in 
quantities. Many of the details of commercial spawn- 
ing and of growing, feeding, storing and shipping 
fancy goldfish were first worked out at Lakeview and 
our fish early earned the reputation of being the finest 
available. 
Lakeview goldfish have been shipped all over the 
United States, to Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Europe and 
even to Alaska.

TS iftieth _Anniversary 


1942 
Twenty years ago we introduced to the trade, and 
to the pool owners of America the Water Hyacinth, 
the finest and largest selling plant for goldfish to 
spawn on, and we are today the largest shipper of 
Water Hyacinths in the U. S. 
Those of us who are now running the business have 
grown up with it. The present owner, R. C. Dolle 
is the founder’s grandson who was raised on the farm 
and learned how to handle goldfish more than thirty 
years ago. 
To our thousands of customers throughout the 
United States we pledge the continuation of quality, 
fair dealing and service to the best of our ability, We 
would like to serve you this year and for many more 
years to come. The war may make it harder for us 
but you may be sure we are trying our best.
