Primary Evidence

"Pater familias in the Roman sense of the term, Boussac has so far enlarged his house by drawing from his connections or by hiring a relative or friend duly recommended. This is true at all levels of his business. As a rule, he trusts people whose father he has known: thus the son of Pierre Forgeot is engaged in the advertising department; the son of his friend, Senator Etienne Dailly, is at the head of the agricultural operations dependent on Mivoisin, and the son of Pierre-Etienne Flandin, Rémi, is appointed director of the Rousseau establishments."

"⁠The tradition of hunting begins right after the war without initially reaching the splendor it would take on over the years. The businessman immediately saw it as a means to develop his relationships. His cousin André Boussac, who since 1920 has been running “A la Toile d’avion,” is a former classmate from Louis-le-Grand of Pierre Forgeot, a republican socialist deputy, and several times minister. It is through him that political elites begin to make their way to Gâtinais. But, regardless of how political his guests are, Fanny doesn’t care if they inadvertently harm animals.⁠"
