CENTROTEX LTU. Approved For Release 2002/07/24 :CIA-RDP80-00926A003300020005-0 _~ ~rr~e~L ~dz ~~ The previous number of the Czechoslovak Exporter was devoted in the main to capital goods; the present issue is concerned principally with those over which the Queen Fashion rules -clothing and footwear, the output of the textile and leather industries. Our pages to-day display for you in particular the new features which are the pride of the Centrotex Company that exports the products of the textile industry, and of the Exico Company which now has charge of the export interests of the leather and rubber in- dustries. Several other companies are represented by ac- cessoriesthat go to make up the world of dress and fashion. We present a selection of woollen, linen and cotton fabrics, velvets and corduroys, and add a number of art- icles dealing with other products of the textile industry. Illustrations of shoes and gloves give you a hint of what the skilled hands of the workers in the leather industry can turn out for Queen Fashion. Then there are the objects produced by the Koh-i-noor Company, those small wares of no mean importance, that in the form of buttons, hooks and clips, of needles and of pins render such service to the clothing industry. We have no desire, of course, to leave other branches entirely aside, so that even if the bulk of our issue to-day is devoted to Fashion, you will none the less find some pages that deal with our metalworking industry, our car- dinal branch of export, with the glass, ceramics and other sectors, without which the picture of Czechoslovak export trade would be incomplete. It is particularly our wish that the Czechoslovak Exporter should represent the whole scale of the country`s exports, even if each issue pays special attention to one particular branch. King Steel who dominated our previous issue is to-day succeeded by Queen Fashion, and in forthcoming numbers it will be King Wood or Queen Glass. The manifold varieties of Czechoslovak export goods with which we wish grad- ually to acquaint you will all be dealt with in turn. ?

The Czechoslovak spinning mills that were already well known to foreign buyers have been now combined with many others to firm one huge concern which to-day turns out every kind of woollen yarns fox handknitting and for industrial use. Added to this there is the very favourable climatic location of the spinning mills where the yarns are under the constant supervision of experts. `Chew experts devote their attention to purely production problems, improve the working processes, and raise the quality of the output, so that the result is a product as near perfection as possible. The yarns are made of the best raw materials, and exceptional care is devoted to their manufacture. During the production they pass through a number of severe controls and tests so that the buyer has the cert- ainty that he is purchasing faultless goods. Wools for handknitting are turned out in all fashion- able colours and shades, and are thus excellent material for knitting pullovers, sweaters, gloves, socks and dres- ses. The Czechoslovak mills also produce woollen yarns for turn_ng out handmade carpets, and fox technical pur- poses. One of the outstanding features of the Czecho- slovak woollen yarns for handknitting is their fast co- lours which are unaffected even by frequent washing or by sunshine. To meet the requirements of every class of customer abroad, the collections of samples include both simple wools and a large selection of highly effect- ive patterns. Attention may be drawn in particular to mother-of--pearl and cable yarns which are specialities of the Czechoslovak mills. A large number of spinning mills have switched their output over to industrial yarns for the weaving, knitting and hosiery factories. In addit- ion to the ordinary kinds of yarns, crepe; boucle, frise, and others are turned out. A complete collection of samples will be submitted on request to any prospective customer, or all necessary information and any specific samples he may require will be posted to him.

For many years past the Czechoslovak mills have been turning out woollen fabrics which, under the trade-mark of "Made in Czechoslovakia" are well-known throughout the world. That mark is a guarantee of excellent quality, careful fin- ish and reasonable price. The mills of the Czechoslovak woollen industry are scattered over the entire Republic, and every day hundreds of cases of woollen goods pass through their gates on their way to all parts of the world. Everyone who buys woollen fabrics to-day looks for perfection not only as regardes quality, but also in respect to colour and design. And it is precisely this per- fection which is the hall-mark of Czechoslovak woollen fabrics. Tasteful finish and elegant design have opened the way for Czechoslovak woollens to countries in which there is no lack of high-quality woollen goods, but where the artistic sense and refined taste of the Czechoslovak designers win the day by reason of the simplicity, ele- gance and artistic quality of the wares they turn out. Every year the Czechoslovak woollen manufacturers assemble new and extensive collections with attractive and striking designs, and in the fine shades of colour which - at least in respect of ladies' dress materials - are dictated by Dame Fashion. This year, too, the Czechoslovak woollen manufac- turers are anxious not to disappoint the thousands, of heir customers, and have devoted especial care to com- piling comprehensive collections of materials. These collections axe assembled at the sample rooms of the C:entrotex Company for the Im~iort and Exj~ort of C~echo- .r,iovak Textiles and Clothes, Woollen Gaods Dept., Brno, ~~hich has been entrusted with the exclusive sale of these f cbrics. What categories of goods are represented in these collections ? In the first place there are materials for men's suits, made from combed and carded yarns. Then there are reversible cloths, woollen corduroys, pointille, raye cotele, patterned afgalain material for tropical wear, gabardine for suits, herringbone pattern suitings, fash- i~~nable striped fil a fil, men's suiting nouveaute, bird's eye, fresco, patterned weavings, and a whole range of other styles. Of the men's carded suitings we may ment- ion at hazard donegal, cheviot, check afgalain, etc. The selections for ladies are likewise most extensive and include raye and pepito for ladies costumes, raye onde f'or ladies' dresses, Prince of Wales for ladies costumes, onde boucle and coachman for ladies' dresses, fashionable tweeds for ladies' cloaks, rough-pile cloth fox coats, corduroy for ladies' coats, carded wool materials for costumes and dresses, Shepherd's plaid in a new colour finish, fashionable compose, changeant novelty for cos- tumes and raincoats of pure combed yarn, attractive double woollen crepe in fashionable pique finish, and e;o on. It is not necessary to occupy ourselves with a de- tailed enumeration of all the other qualities to be found in the collections, but we would recommend prospect- ive buyers abroad. to apply to the Centrotex Company which, on request, will be pleased to summit appro- I~riate collections. Approved For Release 2002/07/24 :CIA-RDP80-00926A003300020005-0 VELVETS AND CORDUROYS FOR EVERDAY WEAR The fashion of the season has decreed that these soft and supple materials shall be worn on nearly every occasion. They are the last word for morning wear and not out of place in the glare of electric light. Czecho- slovak velvets have gained for themselves awed-deserv- ed reputation on the world market, not the least of the reasons for their excellent qualities being the com- position of the water in the district in which they are turned out, containing as it does certain minerals which are highly favourable to the manufacturing process. One of the excellent qualities which distinguish them from competitive goods are their rich colours which have been attained nowhere else and which mark them at once to the expert as being of Czechoslovak origin. Among the products of our factories we may mention as specialities silver-printed velvets, hand-printed velvet- scarves and shawls as also velvets for footwear uppers.

The Company is in the position to offer prospective customers attractive and hard-wearing duventines at most reasonable prices. These are the very thing for sport-vests and dress-accessories. Then fash- ionable corduroys with stripes variyng from i/i6" to ~O I r/8 in width and finally the finest of velvets and vel- veteens in all fashionable colours, also such with lovely painted patterns. In the corduroy section we are offering a special line, a novelty introduced by the Czechoslovak mills -nursery motives such as hobby-horses etc. The a~llections of the Centrotex Company are completed with a wide range of corduroys for ladies' wear as also washable corduroys and corduroys for riding-breeches. We are entrusted with the exclusive sale of all these goods and are ready to supply prospective customers with sample collections covering all these items. ~he first -glance at the output of the Czechoslovak cotton mills shows us that there are four predominant articles in cotton fabrics. They are, first and foremost, fine poplins for shirting and pyjamas, bright-coloured fabrics for ladies' dresses, terry cloth and damask. The quality of Czechoslovak poplins is determined by three factors. On the one hand there is'the long trad- ition in manufacture, then the high quality raw cotton, ~ and finally the character of the region in which Czecho~~ Slovak poplins are made and finished. The finishingniil~ s ~ for .poplin are located in close proximtt o mountain ,t. ~ streams, so that the fabrics are and washed in On the new colle~~~a~cards of the Centrotex Company which has th fright to export the output of the Czecho- slov ~ xtile and clothing industry you will find; a num- ~ er of new features for the present season. These include in particular colourful woven poplins with a background. of jacquard designs, which may be used as exclusive ma- terial for ladies' dresses and as airy, porous shirting. In addition to unicoloured dress fabrics for Summer wear there are notably bright-patterned woven fabrics of highquality cotton. New features in this particular sector may be found, for instance, in several Gordon dress fabrics, conspicuous by their large irregular checks in the bright= est of colours. This gaily woven dress material made from simple macco yarn in warp and weft is patterned and coloured according to the taste and the require- ments of the individual markets. Of interest, too, is the check-patterned Midi dress fabric, and finally the Gaby, a fashionable dress fabric for ladies'wear made exclusiv- ely in striped patterns. The outstanding features of these and the many other kinds of Czechoslovak cotton dre they can be washed and ironed.

It is popular with children and grown-ups, with men and women alike, not only on account of its practical character but also because it snits every face and lends the wearer a youthful appearance. It prov- es aperfect protection for the head on occasions when a hat would be unsuitable or inconvenient, as for example in factories or on the fields, and on journeys whatever means of travelling we use. Of special importance is its practical character during work in factories where it protects the hair and prevents accidents. It is also very suitable for wearing in workshops where cleanliness is of the highest importance. In the world of sport the beret can be used on every occasion. In Summer it protects the head from the heat of the sun's rays, and in Winter it is the ideal headgear for ski-ers. These are onl}~ a few instances of the practical character of the beret. To-day many people throughout the world know the n;ime of the makers of this head covering. Nevertheless, we should like to speak a little about them in the following lines. The types of berets which are best known and most in demand are those which bear the trade-mark of "FEZCO-BEKET"which has won the appreciation of buyers in every corner of the globe. The manu- facture of these berets at Strakonice in Czechoslovakia has been proceeding for years, and the makers have acquired a wealth of experience of which they now avail themselves for improving the quality and appearance of their output. That output has increased parallel with the spread of the fashion of wearing berets. To-day the capacity of the factories is such that they can keep pace with the thousands of orders which are constantly arriving. FEZCO berets, manufactured at Strakonice, are made of the best quality wool, so that like every other woollen material they shall be elastic and fit well on the head. FEZCO berets are made in various sizes and many types. They may be ordinary ones, or decorated with a badge, may be unlined, or again have a silk lining, may have a leather border or be without such border. All types are turned out in a great variety of colours from the most delicate pastels to sober classical shades. It stands to reason that everyone who buys a beret wishes to get a good quality article for his money. How to recog- nize quality? Well, the beret must be elastic, it colours must be fast and not run. At Strakonice these desiderata receive very special attention, and so foreign customers can be sure of getting a really high-quality article for their money. Everyone who wears a beret certainly appreciates its practical character. If we look back a little into history we find, for instance that King Edward I/II regarded the beret as a useful and very practical head cover. It has always been very popular with the broad masses ;and Barque peasants have worn it for centuries. Finally, we would point out to foreign buy- ers that the exclusive sale of all kinds of berets has been taken over by the CENTBOTEX Co., for the Import and Export of CZecho- slovak Textiles and Clothes, Dept. Fe~e.r and Berets, at Strakonice, and that in its collections of samples it has prepared a wide choice of all the different types of "FE7_CO" berets.

The linen fibre possesses many properties superior to those of other tissues. Tt is long, and its ends do not protrude from the fabric, nor collect so much dust, so that it does not get soiled so easily. In Czechoslovakia the manufacture of linen has several hundred years of tradition behind it. Tn the moist mountainous regions with their suitable climatic location, flax has been cultivated for ages. Its quality is controlled by hundreds of experts on the staff of the flax research institutions. The flax mills in Czechoslovakia manufacture all kinds of linen goods. One of the most important categories is that of table and bed linen. Damask of Czechoslovak make, handsome table sets aizd practical bed linen sold by the metre, to-day enjoy an excellent reputation in the textile markets of the world. Linen goods always give the impression of absolute cleanliness, and therefore they are to be found wherever cleanliness is a fundamental requirement. And so, high grade Czechoslovak linen has become an essential item fox hospitals, sanatoria and operating theatres, not only as bed linen but also as material for doctors overalls and for surgical tex- tiles. In the household we meet in increasing measure with Czecho- slovak linen sets. They consist not only of the table and bed linen above-mentioned, but also of towels and dusters which demon- strate the advantages of this fabric in not leaving any fluff on uten- sils and in very rapidly absorbing all moisture. This last-named property of flax has also destined linen for the making of Summer dress material which to-day is without a rival for practical wear in view of its numerous advantages. In the select- ions for men's wear attention is above all attracted to linen for tropical wear, while in those for ladies there is a very wide range of fashionable designs, the work of leading Czechoslovak artists who, with their pupils, have placed their services fully at the disposal of the textile mills, and have thus to be thanked in due measure for the progress, the taste and the perfection displayed in the outfitting sector. Wherever the sun shines, and especially in tropical regions, people are well acquainted with the priceless properties of linen dress material, its coolness, its strength, its capacity for rapidly absorbing perspiration, and its infinite renewal by simple washing., In the past this material has looked, as it were, with envy on its sister, the always-tidy woollen dress material. Uncrushability had been discovered also for silk, cellular material and cotton. Onlv linen held out and revealed thousands of creases immediately it got crushed. The Czechoslovak manufactures have, however, succeeded in reducing the crushability of linen dress material to a minimum by a new process in the course of manufacture. This new process prevents ,linen dress fabrics from creasing, and even? if they do crease a little, the creases very quickly vanish of their own accord, and the dresses are as nice and trim as before. Thus, to the previous excellent properties there has been added another very valuable one which is contributing greatly to increased popul- arity for linen dress material. In the meantime we hope theat the last word has not been. said in this matter, and that further improve- ments will be registered in reducing the liability of linen dress ma- terial to crush. Recently use has also been made of linen fabrics as upholstering and covering material, And it is, above all, the really artistic and fashionable patterns produced by Czechoslovak designers that have given Czechoslovak linen the foremost place in respect to these cover fabrics. To the list of the best known linen products turned out by Czechoslovakia may be added mattress material which is exported from the Republic to all parts of the world. The sole export of Czechoslovak linen products is in the hands of the CENTROTEX LTD., DEPT. 530 (LINEN FABRICS), TRUTNOV, SLEZSK/~ 14, CZECHOSLOVAKIA Approved For Release 2002/07/24 ~ ~~II~I~IE~'~ ~I~YIID IFNII~I~YII~`~TI~,I~ ~?~IEIl~III~Y(~~ ~? ~~DIID IL~T~~II~IE ZP? ~?NII~, II~??tviI~ The proud housewife has always an eye open when it is the question of providing the proper furnishing of her home. However attractive the furniture itself may be, it alone does not suffice to give a distinctive air to a house. To make our flat or house in which we pass the greater part of our free time really pleasant and comfort- able it is essential to purchase the right sort of carpets as well as suitable upholstery so as to give the furniture a proper setting. This being so it is our intention to intro- duce you to the carpets and furnishing textiles that are being produced by the highly-developed textile industry of Czechoslovakia. Carpets and upholstery coverings bear- ing the trade-mark TOKO are at the time of writing in ever increasing demand in all countries of the world. They give a distinctive air to the dwelling rooms of many prominent personalities in innumerable countries, in official reception rooms, as also in a great number of hotels enjoying an international reputation and finally in the homes of thousands of private individuals. Last. year Czechoslovak carpets were enthusiastically received wherever they were exhibited -carpet lovers recognizing immediately that they were being offered goods of rare distinction and originality. The carpet expert of Centrotex Ltd. which is entrusted with the import and export of Czechoslovak Textiles and Clothing (The Department for Carpets, Furnishing Fabrics and Wool- len Rugs) with offices at Vratislavice nod Nisou -the section which has been entrusted with the exclusive sale of this class of goods for the whole of the republic, succeeded in booking an order for the Royal Palace at Kabul, Afghanistan, this order having been placed by His Majesty's Court Chancellor. We should like to state in this connection that this order was given in the face of keen international competition =both the quality as also the design being found superior to those offered by all for- eign competitors. The renaissance design is worked nn a gold ground itself being also in gold tone, and accords remarkably well with the style and general furn- ishing of the Royal Palace, this being one of the rea- sons for it being selected as the most suitable. Tavelve factory girls carried out the work which totalled no less that r,~oo,ooo knots. The entire carpet weighed 23o kilo- grams -that is well over 4 cwts. The question of trans- port presented great difficulties which were, however, successfully solved owing to the particular care which was exercised. This success led to further orders. Centro- tex supplied some magnificent carpets to Siam for the coronation of the ruler, as also to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia and a TOKO carpet was also laid down in the Ducal Palace at Luxembourg.

Every imasinable colour and shade is represented in the most varied combinations, and the finest decorative desisns make Czechoslovak fashionbut- tons really excllusive products of the hishest art- istic level. At the same time it must be remembered that all Czechoslovak fashion buttons despite their exclusive character, are mass-produced in bis series, and are therefore buttons that are cheap enoush to make them available to thewiclest ranks of consumers. It is not the material of which they are made, althoush a number of rare raw materials such as gold, platinum, etc, are used in their manufacture, but the perfect workmanship and finish put into them, and above all the special care which is de- voted to Czechoslovak fashion bulaons on the artistic side by the KOH-I-NOOR Company, that wives them their outstandins value. A special staff of artists, members of the `~1~rt ~~entre for Fashion Buttons~~ established by the I:OH-I-NOOR Company at their headquarters, sees to the brinsins out of new models of buttons, and puts forward countless orisinal sussestions which, on bein~O carried out, place Czechoslovak produc- tion in this line hish above the current ranke of the output of competitors. All this has made Czecho- slovakia in point of fact the leadins country in the world for buttonmakins, and she is also, so far, the only country which lives such comprehensive and systematic care to the manufacture of buttons. It stands to :reason, then, that ~~zechoslovak :Fashion buttons are in demand throushout the world, ;xnd that they are employed not only in the dress- ,uakins industry severally but also by the leading Houses for their latest models.

Records proving this date back to the Middle Ages. Even prior to the Second World War Czechoslovak paper output was not only able to meet the requirements of the home market but considerable quantities of paper were exported to all parts of the world -among other des- tinations to Great Britain where a market was found in particular for va- rious kinds of paperware and cardbo- ard. Numerous English textile mills imported Czechoslovak jiapertube.r and .rpoolr, which are distinguished by se- veral notable properties that are lack- ing in tubes and spools made of other material. They are, in particular, light, do not break or curl, and consume very little motive power. fed For Release 2002/07/24 :CIA-RDP80-00926A003300020005-0 FOR PAPER AND PAPERWARE Approved For Release 2002/07/24 :CIA-RDP80-00926A003300020005-0 .

The issue was made on the occasion of the booth anniversary of Charles Universiy in zy?8. It includes examples from various epochs of music, beginning with the oldest extant songs and ending with the work of young Smetana. Most of the compositions were previously unknown, having been dis- covered in archives, many in foreign countries in which the Czech compos- ers lived abroad. Few of the compositions have been published or recorded previously, in spite of the fact that some of the composers -such as L. Myslivecek, J. V. Stamic and J. L. Dusik -achieved international fame in their own day. By making these recordings available, Suprajihon affords the public an opportunity of becoming acquainted with music of great intrinsic and hist- orical interest. The actual recording is of the high artistic and technical level that has now come to be expected of Suj~ra~ihon.
