Spritfabriken - Fine art posters

Poster with a picture from Reymersholms Spritförädlings AB. A spirits factory located on the south side of Reimersholme in Stockholm. The company was founded in 1869 by the so-called Brännvinskungen Lars Olsson Smith. He produced a much better and cleaner brandy than all the others, the finkel-free Tiodubbelt renat. The result was a spirits empire. In 1877 he opened a new shop next to the factory and outside Stockholm's monopoly limit at the time. Smith sells his shares at the time and new owners take over. The spirits factory became part of AB Vin & Spritcentralen in 1917. At the time the picture was taken in 1932, Smith was no longer the owner but was run under the auspices of Vin & Sprit. The factory area was adjacent to the water of Liljeholmsviken. In 1978, spirits production was finally discontinued at Reimersholme. Director Jonsson seems to take the tasting of the company's products very seriously.
