After graduating from the university, he found work. In the meantime,
he noticed that the grapevines on his father's small parcel of land
produced very weak grapes. Experimenting in the different laboratories
where he worked part-time to gain experience, he invented a material for
protecting grapevines. He did not have enough money to pay for registering
the patent, which was called "COSAN," so he went into partnership with a
friend who paid the money for him and with whom he later shared the
dividends equally. He received the dividends continuously until 1934. With
the arrival of Hitler, the dividends were discontinued. They still use his
patent all around the world under different names, and today they are still
producing it in the "Zorka" factory in Sapac, Yugoslavia.
From the proceeds of the dividends he bought a 30-hectare vineyard in
the Backa vineyards, a house in Belgrade on Sava Kovacevic Street (with 14
apartments) and a villa in Palic, where we spent our vacations.
