Tanulmányok - Mónus Imre: Ipartársulat-ipartestület Hajdúböszörményben (1872-1950)
96 Ipartársulat-ipartestület Hajdúböszörményben galmi adót 1948-tól. Ezt az iparosok nagy része már nem tudta fizetni és napirenden volt az ipar lemondása. 1949- re az iparosoknak kb. 90 %-a adta be az ipart és a megélhetés szövetkezeti vagy más útjára kényszerült. Ez lényegében az ipartársulat megszűnését is jelentette, mert a megmaradt néhány kisiparos aztán csak az anyagkiutalás céljából kereste fel az iparosok volt helyiségét. Az ipartestületet felszámolták, 1950-ben vagyonát államosították. In the second third of the nineteenth century the typical trade activity was the trade guild in Hajdúböszörmény. 9 trade guilds were working in the town. Within its frameworks further development of small-scale industry was not guaranteed. Ceasing of trade guilds was stated by the eighth Act of 1872 and instead of them the Act ordered the foundation of trade-societies providing more liberal development. From the 9 trade guilds formation of two trade-societies seemed to be practical, since if every trade guild was formed into single trade- societies then they shouldn't have had the social characteristic of foreshadowing progress. One of them was the Bootmaker, Taylor, Cobbler, Furrier, Locksmith Trade-Society founded in 1872 and the other was the Blacksmith, Wheelwright, Joiner, Carpenter, Miller, Bricklayer Trade-Society founded in 1874. Their work was continuous but in 1881 the bootmakers left the trade-society and formed an independent Bootmaker Trade-Society. They founded a co-operative for their members but by paying 20 Forints in, the members of the co-operative could become shareholders. They had the right of selling their goods in the hall of industry of the town and maintaining this right was done by the co-operative. Those people who didn't settle their debts outstanding against the co-operative were excluded from the right of selling their goods in the hall. The new Trade Law was issued in 1884 but Bootmaker Society was working as a society further on and their activity met the requirements of the Trade Law. ‘Iwnc Utánuk
