2 on which he had his cottage photographed with the high smoke catch, along with the nearby dairy. Above it stood the inscription: Březnitz Margarin factory of the company Emil Kučera. In this way the former director has become a manufacturer. With this picture, Mr. Director had his postcards, letter palpations, booking notes, as well as invoices provided and so deliberately deceived as well the public, as also the tradesmen. It allowed him to carry out the business as he wished.He sent himself from Vienna barrels with margarine, glued his colorful vignettes on the same hands,with the illustration of his factory and offered the Czech businessmen under patriotic company Original-Ware. His faithful helper in this business was his brother Josef Kučera, a man of the same characteristics as Kučera. It is the same Josef Kucera, under whose name Emil Kučero entered in the hotel into the foreign book. Only a person who did not shy away from it could do this and who according to the daily newspapers on 6 April 1904 under No. U lo9/5 was accused of violating the morale of the Březnitz Martktplatz. This happened in the time when he founded his future and his fame in Břetnice. For this act he was sentenced to 4 days in prison with a fast and to pay the costs for § 516 of the Criminal Law. In addition, he was charged with the following charges : on 6.III.1904 for § 491 of the Criminal Law 14.III.194 §411 and 12.III.1304 for insult of honour. This was repeated in the year l908, when he was charged on April 28th under U ci./8 and sentenced to a fine of loo K; in the case of 6 days imprisonment.It is therefore no wonder that a man with such talents did not remain with the Margarin production. He did all kinds of business and dealt with the purchase, sale, as well as the mediation of realities, and all the large estates. This activity was particularly profitable. From this time the friendship, which Kučera concluded with the former k.u.k.Minister, great landowner Karl Prášek, was also called the Minister of ČsR. For this reason, Kučera did not make much effort to persuade him to sell his property to Prášek. Therefore, Prážek got one of the biggest Bohemian estates in the country cheaply into his hands. Prášek was also grateful to the Kučera for this. He paid him not only a reward, which was several thousand, but he counted him among his friends and this friendship was more and more firm.In the year l915, Prášek was chosen as the board of the Prague branch of Moravian industry and agricultural bank.Now Kučera and Prážekfast always together Práček gave all his trust to the Kučera, so that whenever he had to leave he had always trusted the Kušera with his large estate Košetice. Prášek visited Kučera in Březnice if he could. On such occasions, Kučer always had a princely dinner in his home in Brzeznice, which he had set up for this purpose with the greatest luxury. Prásek's friendship with Kučero went so far that he was the godfather of his firstborn. At that time, Březnice èin had a great festival that not only the whole city, but also the surrounding area, was present. It was therefore no wonder that the public, under the impression of its empire, and its influence, soon forgot its punishments and tried to be put into its favour. As a result, he has succeeded in winning some people who have enforced his election to the city council. Kučera's self-confidence was of course strengthened.The decisions of the city council had to correspond only to his wish.' His most intimate friends were: director of the urban Sparkassa, the tree-farmer, tax office administrator and so on, with whom he ruled the city. Prášek's friendship with Kučera paid heed to the public and when the affair of the society ''International 'broken loose, a certain newspaper published that Prážek and Kučera are the same. And this claim was based on truth.To keep Kučero by the hand, Práček named him private secretary and Kušera dvawe
