abstract = {The article presents the activity of Tadeusz Staniewski (1873–1940), a merchant and social activist, in the town of Swarzędz, near Poznań, in the years 1918–1939. The following sources were used for the purpose of writing this article: the collection of the State Archive in Poznań, as well as articles in Greater Poland press, mainly in periodicals. In 1919, Staniewski became the mayor of Swarzędz and held this position for nine months. In 1929, he was yet again elected mayor, but this time held this position for a decade. For the town, this was a time of a gradual rise to prosperity. Swarzędz became known as the “furniture capital of Poland”. In his town, Tadeusz Staniewski was a respected merchant and a dedicated civil servant. He was a supporter of the National Workers’ Party, and after the May coup, he joined one of its factions — the Left, which supported Józef Piłsudski. Later, he became a member the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government. In subsequent years, he supported the activities of the Camp of National Unity. His attitude towards the representatives of the opposition remained respectful. Even though the representatives of the National Democracy gained majority in the Swarzędz City Council, Tadeusz Staniewski kept his position as mayor. His charitable activity and commitment towards combating unemployment in his town are particularly noteworthy.},
