Macro Mondays: Pins

 

 

In the 1960s you got a free pin when you bought a product. These pins are from C.Jamin

 

Cornelis Jamin was born in 1850 in Boxmeer. At the age of 20 he moved to Rotterdam, where he started a street trade in confectionery. Ambitious and headstrong as he was, he soon turned his street trade into an official confectionery with a sugar confectionery factory. After 10 years he had two sugar factories: one on the Roodezand and one on the Crooswijksekade. And another three years later, in 1883, the Netherlands had its first Jamin store, in which Cornelis sold his own products. He had a great business instinct and did good business.

 

Jamin's shops still exist
