Summary/Abstract: The tobacco industry in Stara Zagora had traditions already during the National Revival but the first independent tobacco factories started work in the 1880s. Its greatest achievements were in the period between the two World Wars. A leading role was played by the “Sluntse” factory of the H. Draganov Brothers and the “Tsar Osvoboditel” factory of Kunyu Pashoolou and Sons. In the middle of the 1930s they ranked third in output after the Plovdiv tobacco cartels. Together with the enterprises of the food and beverages industry they gave Stara Zagora the features of a town of the light industries.
