The address is different, and the intial B. has been dropped from the name in the 1914 directory, but I believe it is the same W. B. Schwartz. How many William Schwartz, lawyer, can there be in Indianapolis in 1914?

Yes, the B was probably dropped. After all, these books were all type-set by hand. There must be dozens or hundreds of errors that nobody will ever notice.
I note that one Schwartz is a “sawyer”…. an ideas on that?
This is probably the same Polk’s Publications that is still going strong. The first 20 years I was in New York I worked with the Polk’s Bank directory.
