Value for your money!
Early in the morning in the harbour. It is quite but the men in the harbour are not asleep. At the horizon the first steamship appears, fully loaded with goods from exotic shores. A good chance to do business. At the yard two traders are making a deal which is confirmed with a hand shake. The Nightshift leaves exhausted to their homes, but the machines will not stop working. The working men stir up the fire…
When the sun rises further and further, the harbour comes to life and ships come to and from. Sweat mixes with dust and salt; this is the place where hard work will have to result in real coins and smart trade. But who is best in using the opportunities which are being presented? And who is the one who stands up when the city has to be protected against the hidious fires?
