It was with deep sorrow that we had lately to 

 announce to our correspondents the cruel bereavement 

 we sustained by the death of our senior partner 



Mr. Hermann Traugott Fritzsche 



which happened suddenly on the 24 th of July at 

 Marienbad. 



This is not the place, nor would it accord with 

 the sentiments of our late senior, to recall his never- 

 to-be-forgotten services for the prosperity of our firm, 

 to whose management he, aided by his brother and 

 sons, devoted his unremitting energy up till very 

 recently. However, we consider it due to his memory 

 to mention him in these Reports, which may be called 

 his very work and in the commercial part of which, 

 edited by himself during nearly thirty years, he used 

 both his vast experience and incessant endeavours to 

 further the general interests of our industry.
