2 End-made Josef Juretschek, hereby requests the grant of a bookstore and loan book iconcession and establishes his request following : Since the year l9l7 I was a book dealer apprentice, since l920 bookseller assistant and såit l929 independent bookkeeper in Brno. In the period from l9l7 to today I have dedicated myself to the book and loan library and served a large clientele with great satisfaction. I occupied a loan library warehouse of Jøoe volumes of good entertainment literature and several hundred different teaching and travel books.-. In the case of today's production shortage, where 7O% of fxtek gv n entertainment literature only appears after the war, on the contrary, hundreds of my customers demand books from me every day, which I unfortunately cannot give after I have no concession to do so. Among other things, books in front of Gert Roth- NBdor ber, Courths-Mahler, Aja Berg, Ganghofer, Paul Keller, Eschtruth, etc. are demanded, from that books I have a large kxn selection. These kind of books will only be produced in the first place after the war. It would therefore be of great service to my clientele if a loan library were to be restored for this neighbourhood. In view of my above references and in appreciation of my deserve for the Brno German language, I hope that my request for the grant of the book and loan library concession will be granted and please refer to the state capital of Brno, so that you may recommend my request to the regional office in Brno. brw gasfbnsddoud tentts gaftetid m notesnoftoredotdted Brno, August 26, 1942.
