The chronicle of Eger Tobacco Factory
In conclusion
But now we've moved beyond the line of graphics. We're now up here, all of us, on the decorated platform from where Ágoston Paulik declared the period of industry and progress. We can touch the towers of the city, we can stroke the leafy back of the surrounding hills, and above us we can see reflected in the clouds the factory as it continues, dignified as ever, into the future. There, in that factory, confident and proud people are at work. They live in peace and have a good standard of living. They are relaxed, healthy and cheerful. They are full of ideas and happy for each other's success. The world looks to them as the bearers and creators of values worthy of imitation. Glance upwards, to the sky... this picture is not so far away. Have a good look and find your own face here. The main architect of all this, Ágoston Paulik, stepped onto the decorated platform above which inventive carpenters created a trellis from vine shoots. Distinguished gentlemen attended from the capital and from the city, standing out from the rest in their fur coats and shiny boots. Boltizár Román, factory director, was the centre of the company, pointing to the sky instead of the many new buildings worth looking at, pointing up to where the everyday person thought there was nothing worth seeing... ...I wish you a fine day. All you have to do is to wish the same to yourself before you go to bed tonight. It rests with you alone. As you arrive, throw a glance at the old water tower, wishing it good morning. He’s a little deaf, don’t count on him returning your greeting. If you encounter Micu Molnár pushing the dustcart the other way, pat her shoulder, thank him for making everything spick and span for you and him, and wish him a good day. Kick a conker right up to the changing rooms and never be ashamed of being caught humming a recently heard hit. After all, you’re at home. You’ve come home. We’ve been coming home here for a century now, beginning the future over and over, we have a fine day. May we have a fine future. íIN CONCLUSION
