Yuba City may well be proud of the hardware shop kept there by Frank G. Bremer, 
which is favorably known for miles around.  A native son, Frank Bremer was born 
in Yuba City on August 16, 1884.  His father, A. G. Bremer, came to California 
in 1871, and Mrs. Bremer (who was Marie Bitrolf before her marriage) came here 
about the same time.  They were married here, after which they took up life on 
the ranch.  Mrs. Bremer, recalled by many as a very lovable woman, is now 
deceased but Mr. Bremer is still living, the center of a circle of devoted 
friends.
Having progressed through the grammar schools, Frank Bremer pursued the 
secondary-school courses, and in 1903 was graduated with credit from the high 
school at Marysville.  For four years thereafter he engaged in the growing of 
fruit, and then he bought out the Sutter County Hardware Company, at that time a 
very modest affair in comparison with Mr. Bremer�s large, double store of today, 
where he carries a complete line of hardware and farm implements, and does 
plumbing and sheet-metal work.  He has the advantage of being in his own roomy 
and ornate brick building, well-appointed in every way; and the increasing 
volume of his trade makes it necessary to employ a large force of skilled 
workmen.  He also owns a twenty-acre peach orchard north of town.
On October 23, 1912, at Yuba City, Mr. Bremer was married to Miss Margaret 
Trayner, a Marysville girl; and their happy union has been blessed with the gift 
of one son, Frank G., Jr.  Mr. Bremer is a Knight Templar Mason and a member of 
Ben Ali Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at Sacramento, and also a member of 
the Elks.  He likes out-of�door life, especially hunting and fishing.  In 
politics he is a Republican.
