From the New World ===== The changes in the production of tvarůžky and the world around them are illustrated by their packaging and distribution - from bulk in crates to packaging in cellophane with round vignettes of the producers, from looms and wheelbarrows to cars, trains and planes. But for the best tvarůžky you have to walk…right now exactly 53 metres to the A.W. company store... [{{:cs:1_stloukacka.jpg?direct&200|“Stloukačka“ is the working title for a machine that accelerated the production of tvarůžky boxes.}}] [{{:cs:zeleznicni_mapa.jpg?direct&200|Map of the railway network of the Czechoslovak Republic}}] In the mid 19th century, a network of railways began to emerge rapidly and unprecedented opportunities opened up for the production and sale of tvarůžky. The time of the coachmen was over, with the advent of steam locomotives and internal combustion engines. Packaging also changed and the number of machines used in the production of tvarůžky increased, including the “stloukačka“ or so called “box-beater“. Electricity begins to appear everywhere as well - in Loštice from 1909. [{{:cs:3_razitka.jpg?direct&200|Stamps were used to mark the boxes during distribution by rail.}}] [{{:cs:4_stroj_na_vyrobu_krabic.jpg?direct&200|The box making machine is documented even by the end of the 20th century.}}] ===== 3.2. Turn of the century ===== The 19th century ends on the ground floor and the gradual conversion of the original Wessels family home into a modern factory and house is a symbol of this change. It is still in use today. The tvarůžkárna became a tvarůžky factory. The foundation stone of the new building is a reminder of the conversion.
