7 List of Jewish (and possibly some Gentile) merchants and market‐
stall keepers petitioning the Tarnów municipality, 1936‐1937, to grant them licenses to sell their products, to lower the monthly user fees or grant permission to pay a percentage of daily sales, to allow them to pay arrears in monthly installments or cancel their debts due to poverty. In most cases their petitions are granted after an inquiry and recommendations are made (see Reel 6). Some petitions are denied because the petitioners are deemed able to pay the fees. Others will go out of business. It appears that in 1937 the market stalls had to conform to a certain aesthetic style. Many stall owners petition the city Market Department for postponements of the date by which they have to comply with the style code. The following is a list of market‐stall keepers in Tarnów's three markets, the Rynek, Burek and Dozywocie. Several entries not related to individual market‐stall keepers are interspersed.
