az árut" nem törődve a tankok jelentette életveszéllyel. Ennek ékes bizonyítéka az a füzetlapra írt igazolás, miszerint „az egész forradalom alatt, a legsúlyosabb helyzetben is" a lakosság szolgálatában állt. Géza bácsi - sok társához hasonlóan - „intézményesült" szódás volt, aki személyesen ismerte vevőkörét és a szóda mellé jó szóval, tanácscsal, humorba csomagolt élettapasztalattal is ellátta azokat a kuncsaftokat, akik erre igényt tartottak. Nem kellettelőre biztosítania magát az emléktábla ügyében, mint szakmabéli elődjének, Millacher Lajosnak a századfordulón, aki 20 ezer forintot hagyott a városra, hogy portréjával és nevével díszkutat állítsanak. Amit életében tett, az volt a garancia, hogy nem feledkezik meg róla az utókor. De hát tudomásul kell venni, hogy nem kaphat mindenki emléktáblát, aki életében tisztességesen helytállt, akár tovább vive a többgenerációs ipart vagy éppen újdonsült vállalkozóként - kényszerből vagy kalandvágyból - vágva Majdnem 100%.

Then we visited the soda manufacturers near our home, among others family Orosz, who informed us about all we had to know so as to be a small entrepreneur. In spite of this fact it was very hard to start the business. We did not have the bottles necessary there and then, because these bottles that were out of use had been smashed not only at Hajdúnánás but in other parts of the country as well. Another very hard job was to get people to like and accept the culture of drinking soda water for a second time. It was not easy to repair the bottles that we had bought, because there was a shortage of parts. There was only one place in the whole of Hungary where parts were sold - the Baumgartner brothers ' shop. " Yes, the Baumgartner brothers ... A good occasion to remember their names just to pay tribute to the great suppliers of the trade, or as they were called: the installers. Without their creativity, knowledge and hard work, soda water manufacturers would have been in a big trouble, even if they personally tried to install, repair or doctor their equipment and bottles.
