Geocache Description:

Kes patri do serie "arte". Ocakavajte netradicnu kesku.

Tradicia vyroby zapaliek na Slovensku sa zapisala aj do historiemesta Zilina. Zasluzila sa o to zapalkova tovaren, firma Samuel Wittenberg a syn. Za svoj obchodny uspech vdacila podnikatelskym schopnostiam tovarnika zidovskeho povodu Samuela Wittenberga. Ten povodne vlastnil, spolu s Juliusom Fischerom, zapalkaren vo Velkej Bytci. Kedze v Bytci existovala uz od roku 1878 tovaren na vyrobu zapaliek, firma Juraja Reitera, rozhodol sa osamostatnit a presunut svoje podnikatelske aktivity do Ziliny.
V roku 1913 prevzali bytciansku zapalkaren (firmu Fischer a Wittenberg) novi majitelia, Stein a Reich. Samuel Wittenberg zacal realizovat svoj plan vystavby zapalkarne v Ziline. Pre novu tovaren si vybral pozemky a budovy opustenej Weiderovej tovarne na vyrobu cukroviniek. Tato tovaren mala, pre svoju polohu (v blizkosti Rajeckej zeleznice a rieky Vah) a zachovale tovarenske budovy, idealne podmienky. Strojove vybavenie tovarne bolo na tu dobu velmi moderne a priestory tovarne boli vybavene najmodernejsou bezpecnostnou technikou a zariadeniami na odsavanie plynov.
Tovaren na zapalky, Samuel Wittenberg a syn, bola svojou produkciou znama nielen na Slovensku, ale aj v zahranici. Vyrobky firmy mali ochrannu znamku W.S., ktora sa nachadzala na nalepkach zapalkovych skatuliek. Kedze nalepky obsahovali aj napis Zilina, sirila tovaren aj dobre meno mestu Zilina.

EN: Matches factory ZA

A simple town one-way cache dedicated to the matches plant.

Matches factory, Samuel Wittenberg and son, was known for its production not only in Slovakia but also abroad. Products of this company had a trade mark W.S which was placed on the labels of match boxes. Because the labels had contained a sign "Zilina", the factory had spread a good name of the Zilina city.

To the cache: My special thanks for super preparation of the cache is to the clever master MinoZA.
