This advertisement was part of a wideranging action of the government of the Kingdom of Poland aimed at development of textile manufacturing in the Kingdom. Immigration of qualified workforce was seen as an important element of the planned development of the textile industry. The pro-immigration policy of the government resulted in the appearance on Polish territories of many new industrial settlements.
