He and Rittinger’s son John Adam continued the partnership running the firm and publishing the Berliner Journal. By the time that William John took over from his father, the Berliner Journal had begun to amalgamate with other newspapers in the area eventually leading to the founding of the 1918 the Kitchener Daily Record in 1918.
