A number of young men who understood Pottery Industry formed a small company and started out to find a new location, as they joined on a few men from Breslau who understood their trade were allowed to join the group. These men from Eastern Germany were large heavily bearded men venturesome honest and enthusiastic, so they traveled on and on to Western Germany to find their luck. After long journeyings[sic] one day they arrived in Saarland and were much impressed, the country looked proprerous, the people were friendly hospitable, and of a happy disposition. so different from the people in Schlesienland[sic].
