Apparently, Josef Kaliwoda was a wealthy citizen who didn't practice a trade but,
in the style of an entrepreneur, bought Herrl's business at a bargain price,
hoping for a profit. For unknown reasons, he acquired the business for his wife.
He certainly had no knowledge of the intricacies of playing card manufacturing —
nor did his wife, the daughter of an ironmonger. Therefore, Anton Herrl was hired
as manager and foreman.
