BALLOR. A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP AND DISCOVERIES.
It was 19 February 1856 when Paul Ballor, Henry Freund and Emilie Roussette
founded Freud, Ballor & Co.

In a first class carriage, two passengers found themselves facing each other. Unbeknown to Paul Ballor and Emilie Roussette, their thoughts were running along the same lines. Both wanted to start a conversation.

Henry Freund had left Orange a month before sending the telegram. His father had bequeathed to him an enormous estate of agricultural land. In two years, he had managed to sell more than two thirds of it and now he found himself in possession of a large quantity of money to make use of.
PART 3: THE ARRIVAL
Emilie Roussette planned to arrive in Milano to visit an aunt. Then, she would have a stopover in Florence and carry on to Sicily as a guest of family friends.
