Miklos Braun at a business dinner

This is me at a business dinner. After graduation, I worked in one of the branches of the Coffee Importation Company of Fiume. I must have been about twenty years old when it was arranged, with the help of a lawyer, to have me officially declared of age, so that I could become a shop manager and have a liquor license registered in my name. Of course it wasn?t that kind of a liquor shop, but they sold all kinds of drinks in corked bottles, so the regulations required us to have a license and it had to be in the manager's name. Actually, now I come to think of it, it is interesting that Jews worked for the Fiume and Christians for Meinl. It was not a rule, but it happened that way.
