Brothers Isaac and Simon Glazier, who were both born in Austria, immigrated to the United States and settled in Marysville, California (1851). There, they opened the Old Corner Cigar Store, a business made profitable by supplying tobacco to miners. Simon married Clara May (1859) and, soon after, Isaac married Bertha Kohn. In 1862, the Glaziers relocated to San Francisco, where they joined William Seligsberg in a partnership on the San Francisco Stock Exchange. In 1874, the firm was renamed I. Glazier and Company. Shortly thereafter, the Glaziers sent for Phillip and Jacob Barth, nephews of theirs living in Europe. The firm was then renamed J. Barth and Company, and it developed into one of the most successful brokerage houses on the West Coast. Isaac and Bertha Glazier moved to New York and Isaac and Simon Glazier died in 1906 and 1908.
