Vendre sur les marchés dans les années trente à Paris : les marchands juifs du textile, du cuir et autres accessoires du marché des Puces de Saint-Ouen

Céline Leglaive-Perani
By the end of the thirties, Jewish clothes traders were rather numerous at the flea-market of St Ouen. The “aryanisation” archives are a means to learn more exactly how many they were, and what their trades dealt with. We can thus get a contrasted view : there are ready-made sellers, often well-off, who get a stall or a solid shed to display their assortment, and accessories peddlers, poorer men, described as “hawkers” who just get a narrow place on a pavement. But the greatest gap is to be found between those who sell new clothes and second-hand dealers. Nevertheless, both these groups are drawn closer because of their link to the craft industry. The relation of different carreers is a way to assess the strength of this many-shaped link, whether the trader sells his own making, or that of other Jews, mainly immigrated ones. In this last instance, it is worth noting that the seller has nearly always been first a craftsman himself. This link is so close first because the network between immigrants is very close and also because the seller is very well acquainted with the craftsmanship area.
