'St. Gallen embroidery sometimes known as Swiss embroidery is embroidery from the city and the region of St. Gallen Switzerland. The region was once the largest and most important export area for embroidery. Around 1910 its embroidery production was the largest export branch of the Swiss economy with 18 percent of the overall export value. More than 50 percent of the world production came from St. Gallen. <p>The decline of the embroidery industry began in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War. The demand for luxury products - and embroidery counted among these - collapsed suddenly and also the free trade zones were disrupted. Partially neutral countries were still customers but they could only compensate in the short term. To preserve wages somewhat from the free-fall maximum working hours and minimum wages were now also fixed. In fact these measures were rather counter-productive - only workers who demanded less than the minimum wage got a job. The year 1917 still in the middle of WWI temporarily brought a surprising turn: the Entente forbade the export of cotton products to Germany but not the export of embroidery. Therefore every cloth to be sold to Germany was embroidered in some way as embroidery could be sold. A year later the sale of embroidery to Germany was forbidden too and this meant the end of the brief upturn. The last little flurry of exports came in 1919 after the end of the war when the reconstruction of the war-stricken countries brought another short rise. With the start of the economic crisis the heyday for the St. Gallen embroidery was finally ended. One sign of the extent of the crisis is that from 1910 to 1930 the population of St. Gallen was reduced by emigration as a result of unemployment from 75482 to 64079' Wikipedia. A cursory search online suggests Herrmann & Goldfrank went through a similar trajectory: the company Steines Herrmann and Goldfrank first appears in 1911; from 1915 the name was Herrmann and Goldfrank; from 1919 the name was John Goldfrank and Co.; and by 1932 the company had ceased to exist. 3 items.
