I can only make 4 last letters -larz. It's hard to say if the first letter is S or F or any other... kanalarz, malarz, handlarz, stolarz - none of these fits. Maybe other poeople will be able to think more profession names. Maybe you are able to read the first letter based on other handwritten fields?

My guess is "handlarz", a merchant. The "d" character is kind of thin though, so it is hard to recognize it on first sight. Fortunately, we have the French corresponding word "marchand" - in the line below. Notice that the old fashioned "z" from the word "handlarz" interferes with the last two letters "n d" in the "marchand" word - giving the impression of an extra letter between "n" and "d".

rather handlarz = salesman.

Thanks! I think "handlarz" fits. :-) DWWD
