Preger’s family shop

Photo of  the “Samuel Preger and Sons” tailor shop, Zagreb 1920.

My father and uncle were the owners of the shop. The tailor shop made suits by order. It was opened before World War I right on Jelacicev Square, on the first floor . My father was a merchant and his brother, Edo, was the tailor. The business did not last long because World War I soon broke out. My father and uncle had to go to the army, their youngest brother was released from service probably so that someone could remain with the family. We moved to Pecs where we spent all of WWI.

When we arrived from Hungary, we lived for some time where the shop was.
