CARL ABRAHAM METZ
1857
Østergade 212, Randers
The merchant
Carl
Abraham
Metz
sold
matches and
chocolate
from his
grocer's shop
in
Østergade
, but
in 1857 he
sought and
obtained
license to
manufacture and sell
both
chocolate and matches
.
Metz
bought
Müllertz
appliances
and machines
and
installed them
in an
outhouse
at
his house in
Østergade
where he, the
same year,
started the production
together with his brother
,
Benny
Metz.
Already
in 1860
Metz
interest in
the matches
began to
fall
and
therefore he sold
the equipment to
grocery
colleague
,
Søren
Larsen
Sørensen, who
then
moved
the equipment to
his house
in
Vestergade.
