Within a brief time span, four sons of Heinrich and Helene Brunner, n\u00e9e Marx, have left Hohenems to seek their fortunes in Trieste. Jacob, Marco, and Wilhelm<\/span><\/div>\r\n
\u2014the latter two not yet twenty\u2014establish a trade business in Trieste around 1832, which offers textiles purchased in St. Gallen, so-called \u201cSwiss goods.\u201d In 1835, Carlo (Hirsch) will follow them as well. In their joint letter to them of November 20, 1833, Heinrich tells his sons that the butcher\u2019s shop was going well and that he, however, does not know where his sons might get hold of red calfskin, presumably for selling in Trieste. On the back page, mother Helene and sister Henriette report news from daily life. Helene urges her son Wilhelm to learn something and not to drowse. The Brunner brothers in Trieste frequently travel to St. Gallen. Thus, personal contact within the family is maintained as well. In 1835, Marco returns to devote himself entirely to purchase activities in St. Gallen and eventually establish a bank, from which UBS would ultimately emerge.<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
