Bogusław Allina started working in the export company "Sztuka Ludowa" of his father Zygmunt Karol Allina in 1920. The company was based in Warsaw, in a tenement house on the corner of 1 Mazowiecka Street and 26 Świętokrzyska Street. From 1932 to 1939, Bogusław held the position of director. During the World War II, the company was completely destroyed when a bomb fell on its premises. Bogusław Allina did not want to cooperate with the occupier and did not reactivate the company. During the occupation, the family subsisted on the financial resources earned before the war. | MH
