Started inHalifax, Canada, by William Henry Schwartz, the son of a German[2] baker of the same name from Amsterdam,[1] the company grew as a family operation. Son W. E. Schwartz[3] added pure spices[2] with the purchase of a spice mill in 1880. By the 1930s the company was selling in more than fiftycountries. Its slogan was"Say Schwartz and be Sure" and by the 1950s their current "S"trademark was in use.[2] Subsequent changes in ownership have resulted in the business now being represented solely by the brand.
