"The So­ci­ety of Paprika Pre­par­at­or­s from Szeged, 1926-1936"

For sev­er­al dec­ades, mainly between 1890-1949 - as there was no need for an of­fi­cial cer­ti­fic­ate - the pre­par­at­or­s were do­ing in­dus­tri­al pre­par­a­tion. They bought the paprika gar­land­s from the pro­du­cer­s either for the mar­ket price or they made a per­son­al agree­ment. Dur­ing the lib­er­al, open mar­ket peri­od (ap­prox­im­ately 1890-1914) this trad­ing between the rur­al pro­du­cer an­d the pre­par­at­or from the town took place on the paprika mar­ket placed on the "Gar­land Square". Af­ter the great flood of Szeged it was moved to the City Hall Square, then to the ring road, an­d on the turn of the cen­tury to the today's Bartók Square.
