Fargo Glass & Paint

Fargo Glass & Paint Company founder E.J. Schonberg was fond of calling his company "The Friendly House". The son of Swedish immigrants, Schonberg founded The Fargo Plate Glass Company in 1917 with $10,000 of borrowed money and absolutely no experience in the glass business. Brand new company announced itself to Fargo in an advertisement placed in The Fargo Forum on February 5, 1917. The ad explained, "We know we'll never get any more than we earn or deserve, and we expect to hustle for all we get!" In 1919, the company changed its name to the Fargo Glass Company, and in 1922, the name changed once again--this time to the company's current name:Fargo Glass & Paint Company. Fargo Glass & Paint Company is a distributor of windows, doors, siding, mirrors, paint, and related accessories. Our Contract Glazing division offers customers the experience, products, and personnel to install everything from high rise curtain walls and storefronts to automatic doors and shower doors.
