Hansel-Complete in new form and equipment. 3. increase in sales all over the world. Keep moving! This is the way of the Hänsel works in 1930. Work and work have grown. And with only a few more weeks to go, new machines in expanded premises are happily singing the song of responsible Hansel work. 1. Modern technology and more than 20 years of experience created the new Hänsel-Wollastine. Enthusiastic testimonials mark its triumphal march through the world. 2. The new Hänsel-Complet is masterly in cut form and execution, its furnishings are magnificent and colorful, and its circle of friends is growing ever larger. 3. Demand and orders from all parts of the world increase in rising curves, in Hänsel horsehair as well as in Hänsel-Wollastine and in the Hänsel-Complets. As in 1930, it has always been the hallmark of Hänsel's development: further ahead, in spite of all the obstacles in the economic cycle; further ahead through reliable quality of Hänsel products, further ahead through purposeful Hänsel work, further ahead through the trust of Hänsel friends all over the world, in loyalty for loyalty.
