Condition of the Pforzheim Jewelry Industry

According to a statement concerning the Pforzheim jewelry trade appearing last month in the Frankfurter Zeitung, evil conditions prevail in that formerly busy city. The newspaper’s correspondent says: “Whereas, in the first months of the year the German business in genuine goods took on another rise, it now halts entirely on account of the need of gold. The effect is here greater because the Pforzheim industry, such as is rarely the case with any other, is built on credit. The procuring of the principal raw materials (gold, platinum, precious stones, etc.) calls for sums which in normal times could, as a rule, be obtained through credit. With the falling off of this the purchases of raw products could only be done with cash and this possible only in quite reduced quantity, for the sales of Pforzheim goods are made on long-time credit. The German wholesaler, through whose mediation the sales are produced generally, is no more in position to buy, for his customer, the jeweler, is likewise no more able to pay. “The export business, since the stabilization of the mark, is quite prostrated and for several reasons. The duties play a great role, which in their present form, when the exchange conditions were altered, are no longer appropriate. They create a weighty base for the greater dearness of the German jewelry wares abroad, which is substantially supported in that France, in the world market, through its exchange value, has received an advantage. Added to this comes the convulsion (political unrest, bad crops, etc.) in the countries overseas, which were the chief sales territory for the export jewelry trade, works hindrance, quite overlooking the fact that, over there, where, during the German inflation period, the jewelry goods were “pumped full” (volgepumpt) they must be sold first. These customers also know how to make use of the temporary distress in Germany and again ask credit up to six months. :

“The condition is best seen in the rise in figures of the part-time workers and the unemployed. While in May, in 14 works, 4,490 persons had part-time work, the figures quickly rose in June to 135 works and 11,038 persons. But today there are already 205 works and 14,581 part-time employes reported in the jewelry branches hereabouts. * * * One would not go wrong in asserting that in all the jewelry works, which number about 1,000, there is more or less part-time work and to the extent that these firms close entirely whole weeks at a time. Quite a number of the smaller works, to be sure, achievements of the inflation period, have already gone into dissolution entirely. * * * The same unfavorable situation confronts the Gmund jewelry industry, for it is built up and works under exactly the same conditions as those of Pforzheim.”
