and a wholesale textile shop. The factory was named something like Prva
Jugoslovenska Fabrika za Tapaciranje, and is still located near the bus

shop was on the ground floor of the building where we lived.
Because he tried so hard, my father achieved a level of success his father
never had. He was a successful businessman, which allowed his family to
live a comfortable but by no means extravagant life. I remember that my

children, would know that he was an honest businessman. Despite his success
he always maintained a sense of modesty and made sure we all did as well.
