Natz initially went to work for the Bremen Bank where he moved up quickly., he was a gifted horseman, however, and yearned for an occupation that involved driving or riding horses. One day when his father was walking down the street, he came upon his eldest son driving a rock wagon, and learned to his surprise that Natz had resigned from the bank to pursue this line of work because it onvolved horses.
