A brass plate went up on the door the same morning. The first order, the founders said, is already in the book.

Oberbach Ordnance Works is founded at Oberbach by Mathilde Hallin. Trade in Oberbach took the news quietly; the quay were quiet by the afternoon.

Those in the trade at Oberbach spoke of the matter without surprise. A woman selling eels at the corner observed that a counting-house is a counting-house whoever's name is over the door.

Those concerned: Oberbach Ordnance Works (subject); Mathilde Hallin (founder).

The Grand Chancellor, Lukas Marsch, has been briefed.

The Herald will follow the matter.
