ОписаниеThis is a product label for Alberol cleaner and polish. The company was founded and owned by Bedrich Fritz Albera (born Abeles). Fritz was trained as a textile and chemical engineer. Fritz originally established this business in Brno manufacturing floor waxes and polishes for floors and marble. He held a patent for these products and for a metal brush for thirty years but later lost the patents. After the war, his products continued to be produced by larger factories.
When the Germans invaded Czechoslovakia life began increasing more difficult for Fritz and he was repeatedly harassed and even imprisoned. It was decided that he should flee. It is unknown whether or not Fritz’s factory was Aryanised or what happened to it but it was not returned to him after the war.
Upon arrival Fritz attempts to re-establish his business in Israel and the products are available in stores. He also come close to winning some large government contracts but are cancelled at the last minute. The company ended up folding.
