Researched data is related to the period between the two world wars and up until the 1970’s. After this period trade and trade communication in the local community of Krivi Put were redirected to fairs in the Cooperative Redemption Station in Podbila. Research was carried out by a questionnaire created for the needs of research about fairs and trade in this region and according to the questionnaire about fairs (subject No. 105 Ethnology Atlas).
