Krügers description of his method, send to the Royal
General Custome Chamber and Trade Collegium
1844 - 1846
Lille Torvegade 125, Christianshavn
Timber
Master
Carl
Krüger's
son,
Carl
Johan
Gustav
Krüger
studied
in 1844
to be an
engineer.
He is
like so many others
bothered by
the strong
sulfur smell
coming
from
the sticks
when
they burn
and
experimenting
therefore
to get this
away.
In
April 1844
, he has
found the solution
and therefore seeks
to
6 years of
exclusivity
of
fabricating
these
friction match
sticks
that is
completely
free of sulfur
smell. He seeked for
the
firm C.
Krüger
&
son
as he
, because of
his studies
and
other chores
would
leave
the Board of Directors
of the factory to
his
father.
There is
no industry
registration for
the
factory,
probably because it
is
run as
part of a
carpentry
business, but
in
the late 1840s
working
Carl
Kruger
as manager in a brandy producing
factory
until he
gets
finished his
Master in engineering
.
After
this he devoted
himself
to a
completely different
and
new industry
, wallpaper
industry where he
in
1871
established the first
wallpaper
factory,
which
was
equipped with
printing machines.
