Rotterdam

A special thanks a million to Erica,

I too found interesting info re my Grandfather, of whom I know little.
Saw him working as a store clerk and later as a manager and also found
out when he approximately left for Amsterdam, around 1907.
I knew he was a store franchise holder in the Kalverstraat there later
on, in the early 40's. I believe it was called WMF. But I'm not sure.
Anyone know anything about this store ? I would love to receive more
info re this type of store or stores.
Answers in Dutch OK too. Thanks in advance and
Have a good one, Frans.

Hi Frans,

WMF would be silverware and cutlery, I think. Bestekcassettes dus. Heb
je al eens op d beeldbank van gemeentearchief Amsterdam gekeken? Nadeel
is wel, dat ze giga-veel foto's van de Kalverstraat hebben en het kan
natuurlijk ook nog de Heligeweg of de Nieuwendijk zijn geweest.

Groeten van Richard

Yes indeed, WMF means Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik and they are
