The Napa City Hook an Ladder No. 1 was orgnized October 10, 1873. This is the picture of the late William Shwarz, son of the late Mr. & Mrs. Herman Shwarz, was born in Napa. He was eldest son and brother of the late David and Max. Their father owned the Shwarz Hardwareand his three sons managed the store. When his two brothers passed on, Will became the sole owner.
