V KOMISIJI - KUPITI, NE SEDETI: Komisijska prodaja (oblačil) po drugi svetovni vojni

In socialist Yugoslavia, commission stores played a dual role. They were either shops selling new, imported (or smuggled, desirable) goods or else trading in second-hand goods. The paper focuses on commission stores in Slovenia toward the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s. Drawing on archival data, periodical publications, and interviews, the paper argues that these were mostly premises selling second-hand ware and managed, at least partly due to ideological motives, by disability organizations.
