Summary/Abstract: Revenues from taproom constituted a major item in the budget of Szadek in XIX century. Profit from producing and selling liquor belonged to real estate owners, who chose their proxies to administer the income. Comparison of lists of estate owners con-tained in letters of attorney from 1852 and 1862 made it possible to establish that only 1/3 of those burghers appeared in both lists. This indicates that during a decade there was considerable exchange of property owners in Szadek. The majority of them (58%) were literate. The families which whose members were most numerous in the group of estate owners in Szadek are Łazuchiewicz and Woszczalski.
