controls were introduced, staple food needs (food, fuel) were secured to be met, the biggest problem being the shortage of milk and dairy products. Financial controls were imposed as well, which limited the amount of money payable on demand to the depositors to 200 crowns, and war loan bonds were first issued in November 1914. Zoltán Kaposi: Changes in the handicraft of Nagykanizsa in the 1910s Nagykanizsa used to be the most significant economic centre of Southwestern Transdanubia in the second half of the 19 century. Trade was the basis of its development for a long time but the last decades of the century saw industry rise rapidly. Beside the traditional handicraft industry, 16 factories were already set up by the preceding years of the world war. In 1910, 3900 people made their living from handicraft which amounted to 33% of the total employment. The outbreak of the war, however, caused a huge fallback in the economic life of Nagykanizsa. As it was a predominantly light industrial town, huge demand from the government could not be expected. The most imminent problems for the handicraft industry were caused by the conscription, the lack of demand, the fallback in production and the decreasing income. Despite the hardships, small-scale businesses following the Trade Corporation and some of its prominent leaders did much to remedy the social problems caused by the war (charity, reception of and finding jobs for Transylvanian refugees etc.) In the wake of the war these problems did not disappear because the annexations brought about a loss of customers, caused shortage in capital and raw material, and resulted in general economic uncertainty, all of which serialized the problems for the small businesses for a long time. Hajnalka Vörös Márkusné: Handicraft and small scale trade in Veszprém in the 1910s Veszprém is traditionally known to have been one of the most important Transdanubian centres of the handicraft industry, the products of which were sold locally and in the neighbouring counties as well, which explains the fact that roughly one man out of three made a living from handicraft and trade in 1910. The daily routine of the trade of the town and the changes brought about by the first world war can be best described through individual lives and not just by statistical data. One example is pipemaker György Illikmann, 126
