The smallest factories helped at that time the French cities. For example some cider factory sometimes developed because it had to bring alcohol during the war. But these factories mainly help towns and villages because everything being stay in the cities to work in had needs (sometimes it was send to the soldier). But their production really develop for some other one had some difficulties and one sometimes went bankrupt. But these cider factory was not the only one to be booming several other type of small business also developed at the beginning of this year that is 1914.
Ah the time the smaller factories was forgetting but knew the same boom as the larger factories. While some of it was not helping by this other war yes the cider produced more wine as there was more demand by arming it and by the people who work more and more. This war sometimes allowed a very small and little known cider to grow and the large cider factory to increase their profit. This boom has not only helped to develop business type and has expanded the possibilities to several types of business.
