Dona Blanca severe illness, together with the large showrooms in Can Valero make the premises in central Palma obsolete, so the Jaime III shop is closed in 1975. During the late eighties Mallorca lives through an outstanding development, amongst others, of both touristic activities and building construction services, together with the growth of demand for mass production furniture.
