A time machine trip back to the early 1900s Mörtfors when commercial life really flourished. Some of the activities you could find here back then; a general store, a market gardener, a bus company,
a mill, a furniture factory, a match factory, a car-rapair garage,
a lemonade manufacturer, a chocolate factory(!), a medical doctor,
a pharmacy, a blacksmith, a hairdresser, a dentist (me and Jakob have our work space in the old dentist reception now), a bakery and not to forget the bathing resort with the Guesthouse! (About 150 summer visitors came to Mörtfors each summer for the health spa, the food and the surroundings.) AND during a short period Mörtfors even housed a small-scale breeding of silver fox!
In Mörtfors today you´ll find an artist, a textile artist, a painter and carpenter, the Guesthouse, journalists and experts of EU, salmon-trout breeding, a small boat line, a florist´s shop and 2 happy illustrators among some other sole traders (whose work I can´t manage to explain about in English.) Links to pages in Swedish here. Pictures are from Mörtfors homepage.
Och TACK till alla i Mörtfors som kom och firade med oss på kontoret i fredags!!!
