BKLYN BOX 813 = THE BEER BOX .... KNICKERBOCKER & SCHAEFER.

Knickerbocker used to sponsor the NY Giants baseball team and Schaefer the Brooklyn Dodgers - the Yankees were sponsored by Ballantine Ale and the three ring sign for purity, body and flavor.

I probably had a year on the job & one 6x9 after midnight, our boss Lt. Danny Marshall, who was a FF in L108 on Seigal St got the dispatcher to relocate us out to 108. They were in their new quarters. On our way to 108, we stopped at one of the commercial bakeries in Williamsburg & picked up a couple of large boxes of donuts, then headed to one of the breweries & gave them the donuts & they gave us a couple of cases of tin “soldiers” & we put them on our running board with our roof man & headed to 108. Lt. M had us put some in their frig & when the companies returned, the Bn also, the chief saw Lt.M & proceeded to open the frig.
The Chief then told Lt. M to “take your men & leave”. One of those old stories I’ll never forget. RIP Lt. Dan Marshall.

My mother had 3 brothers and each of them rooted for a different New York team and would only drink their team's beer so she would have to buy all three brands when her family visited us.

Jack, Very nice tribute to Dan. It always got to me, that all the fires he went to throughout his career, he perishes in a plane crash, probably burned to death, if I remember correctly. RIP.

Chief you're right about 211. My Dad was assigned to 211 and I have that photo with all the members at that time, 1962. Paul Carosotto is in that pic with my Dad and eventually I got to work with Paul, Lt. in 233, when we both went to the new House with them.
