Polish term or phrase: manufaktura
Kontekst: "Często dają manufakturę i obuwie".

This text is from letters written by displaced persons during WWII. The displacement took place on the eastern part of then-Poland and this note is from a letter to a Warsaw family. It described the living conditions and mentions this item. Does anyone have an idea what "manufaktura" meant?

Thanks!
