Muetzenfabrik

[Erel]

It says:

Das Aufarbeiten sowie Umbesetzen von Mützen wird billigst ausgeführt.
"The upgrading and changing the piping of caps will be done at low costs."

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Thanks, as I thought. Umbiesen is also a nice word, if it exists. But my point is very simple that persons of the time had their possessions repaired.
There are many alive today who wear tee shirts and flip flops or running shoes, who throw away their clothing when it it is defective.
Certain of these people are internet know it alls, who constantly damn authentic items as fake because of stray stitches and so forth.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

The proverbial cap factory.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Retail in a RZM licensed store.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Here is a cap maker whose name I have never heard, and I am jaded beyond measure.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

I am sure Wim has heard of him. Wim knows everything and in luxuriant documentary detail.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

Peter Jenkins sold me his bound volumes of UM, and I shall include the cap adverts as I find them.
We have some of these in the microform, but I now have the original periodical, as you can see here.
My thanks to Peter Jenkins for a brilliant item from his magisterial collection.

[Friedrich-Berthold]

For those who only judge a cap by its maker, this cap maker was apparently anonymous, other than his motto, Must zu Diensten, and advertised via the UM via a kind of post office box. Was this a cap maker of the other firms who moon lighted on his own? Such is very possible, despite the rigors of Nazi Germany.

I am sure Wim has heard of him. Wim knows everything and in luxuriant documentary detail.

He had also an RZM licence and by this he was allowed to manufacturer headgear for political
organizations and was a concern with a group of employees as he was classified as A1 (Mützenfabrik):
A 1/826 A.F.Cziasto,
Inh. Wilhelm Marks,
Hamburg 8

(Inh. means - owner) He already was mentioned in the 1935 RZM-handbook and
had his permission up through in the war!

Thank you, as ever, for the kind aid.
