Summary/Abstract: The authors attempts to point to some specialties of the economic development of Bjelovar at the turn of the century based on available archival materials and publicized scientific papers. Considering the fact that archival sources are relatively modest or completely lacking for a more quality estimation of the role and importance of crafts and trade for the total development of the town, as well as their role in the economy of Croatia and Slavonia of the time, the author is limited to lists of crafts, trade workshops, and some attempts of Bjelovar businessmen they considered to have been marked by characteristics of manufacture-industrial companies.
