Mandl a spol., Opava
News item in the newspaper Troppauer Zeitung, 5.8.1868
English: Passing by a magnificent group of begonias and caladiums belonging to Count Larisch, we arrive at the matches from Pollak & Co. and the products of the sugar refinery. Right next door the spiritual element is represented. Liqueur production is operated on a large scale in Troppau and the exhibitors have outdone each other in decorating their exhibition space. Mandel & Co., E. Herz & Co., Lassmann & Raida and Lichtwitz & Co. are the actual manufacturers of this substance. Em. Herz is an Imperial and Royal privileged producer, Lichtwitz & Co. already has a medal from the Paris Exhibition and is Imperial and Royal Court Supplier. The most excellent among the distilled spirits was probably exhibited by the spirits refinery of Menschik and Slonawsky, as guaranteed by the reputation this establishment has acquired in such a short time and the enormous orders coming from as far as Belgium and France.
