And now, for the history lesson!

One autumn evening in 1853 a horse-drawn carriage from Boryslav drove to the "Under a Gold Star" pharmacy, located at the beginning of Kopernyka street (at that time Shyroka Street) in Lvov. A distiller from Boryslav, Abraham Schreiner, brought several barrels to the owner, the Hungarian Petro Mikoliash. Inside was ordinary oil, and Schreiner persuaded Petro to make a very  profitable deal, in his opinion, to start to obtain alcohol from oil.   The owner of the pharmacy invited to talk his pharmacists, the Czech Johann Zech, and Ignacy Lukasiewicz, a son of Lviv's Armenians. For a long time they were engaged in oil refining, producing various ointments and medicines. When they heard a nonsense about making alcohol from oil, it was a real shock for them. But the boss's word is a law, so they set to work.

It took several months, until one day they created an interesting product that burned a bright flame, didn't smoke and was without bad smell. Lvivians were the first in the world who invented the fuel that even now, at the beginning of the 21st century is used by a third of the world's population. It's called kerosene.

Zech and Lukasiewicz decided on their own to start a metal lamp business. The world's first kerosene served as a fuel for their lamp. The product was exhibited in the pharmacy window every night, but no one was interested in buying the lamp.    But the world recognized the invention! On May 27, 1853 Johann Zech received  a patent from the Vienna Patent Office, and after showing it off at the World Exhibition in Munich, unexpectedly doctors helped to put a lamp in demand. Soon city hospital surgeons everywhere were doing emergency surgeries in the light of kerosene lamps. It was proved that a new lamp is not only safer but also more hygienic. Thus, the oil lamp became a popular commodity.
