PKZ was founded in Winterthur in 1881 by Paul Kehl as a clothing factory (hence the name PKZ: Paul Kehl Zurich). From 1896 first branches were opened in Basel,

Since the 1990s, PKZ has expanded from about 15 stores to around 30 PKZ Men stores in Switzerland by taking over the stores of Esco Kleider AG.

Alfred Fränkel – TURUL Schuhfabrik

Alfred Fränkel – TURUL Schuhfabrik

The grandfather of John Kerry (American politician and diplomat, currently serving as the first United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. He previously served as the 68th United States Secretary of State from 2013 to 2017.), Fritz Kohn, led a shoe factory in Mödling until 1904. The Kerry grandfather, born in 1873 in Silesian Horni Benesov, moved with his family via Vienna to Mödling. There he lived vis-a-vis the shoe factory at Schillerstrasse 67 - the building is still standing today. In 1891 Kohn had completed the Mödlinger Gymnasium and then became authorized officer in the shoe factory of his uncle Alfred Fränkel. In 1901 Kohn became a Catholic and changed his name - Kohn became Kerry. In 1904, Kerry emigrated with his wife Ida to the United States. In 1915, the child's third child, Richard - John's father - was born. In 1921, Fritz (now called Frederick) shot himself in Boston after his company went bankrupt.The artist who designed the stamps was Fritz Salender
