Finnish Erika brochure

I recently made a purchase from a Finnish used bookstore, and while trying to find a few more things to buy to take better advantage of the flat rate shipping I came across this wonderful brochure. The seller kindly threw it in for free.

Based on the models available, and the code printed on the back, I think this is from 1939. I've seen a very similar brochure in German, but it's nice to have one in another language that I'm a bit familiar with. (I know some Finnish, but couldn't hold a conversation yet. Those other books I was buying aren't novels!)

I'm really hoping this can become a significant contribution for the good of all Facits, especially because as I've found it might actually happen to you after you've owned one for a while.

Typed rather triumphantly on my new Facit 1620.
