Holm, Preben: Difference between revisions

Lon Schwartz still wanted to buy all the pipes I could make, and new markets began to be added. Japan was the next one. People there seemed to be more interested in the design and the quality of the Bruyere than in the price. Due to my always being very careful with the purchase of raw material and only accepting the very best, no matter what is the price, we very quickly acquired a very good market in Japan. Very soon new markets turned up, among others most countries in Europe showed great interest, and we once more increased the production.  

In earnest it now began to demand much time of me, because I soon learned that it was not easy just to increase the production as by no means I wanted to compromise regarding the quality, but little by little I managed. My small workshop on the 4th floor in the city of Copenhagen wa snow too small. I was by now 21 years old and had six journeyman. Therefore I decided to move to a much bigger place in the outskirts of Copenhagen. However there now arose problems with the U.S.A. Lon Schwartz still bought as much as we could spare him, but it had slowly become too much for his shop in St.Thomas, and he could not really make up his mind whether he should renounce with the monopoly in the U.S.A. or whether he should establish a wholesale business that covered the American market. Finally he decided to stay in St. Thomas, and to renounce with the monopoly the rest of the rest of the U.S.A.
