A document stating that Marika Krpez's grandfather Mor Deutsch was allowed to produce soda water

The document was issued in 1885. It was issued to my grandfather Mor (in some documents his name appears as Mozes, Moric or Mavar) Deutsch. My grandfather submitted a request to the state for permission to produce soda water. In this document it is written that he was allowed to produce soda water. He died in Subotica in 1923. Both my grandfather and grandmother were buried in the Jewish cemetery. My father did not have money and so he erected a metal plaque with the basic data for them.
