        Although not yet twenty-four years of age, Joseph Schwartz has charge of 
the leading dry goods and fancy store in Santa Cruz, being associated with his 
father in the ownership of the property. He has, evidently, inherited that 
excellent business ability which has enabled his father to accumulate a 
competency.
        He was born in Santa Cruz, October 4, 1867.  He acquired his education 
in the Santa Cruz public schools. He assisted in the organization of 
Chesnutwood's Business College, and first engaged in business in Santa Cruz in 
1887, at which time was established "The Arcade," a dry goods and fancy goods 
store, and the firm of Schwartz & Son was first known to the people of this 
county. Mr. Schwartz is a member of the I. O. O. F. and of the Pilot Hose 
Company. He is a very agreeable young gentleman, with the promise of a bright 
future.
