IVANA new bag
Wednesday, 5th March 2003
I found the following story hidden in the side of this bag. [I]"In 1938 did manufacturer Ivan J. Paolovski arrive by train to Helsinki from Vyborg, which was under Russian occupation at the time. He founded the Globe's most Northern match factory into the dark uninhabited wilderwood of Eastern Helsinki.
Ivan's ideology of ascetic, genuine everyday life gained many supporters in the form of motivated factory workers. And every other Saturday they went camping. In his match factory the light of life was growing and the factory grew into an entire sector of town. East Helsinki was born. Today IVANAhelsinki is one of the biggest match factories in the world. By the way, IVANAhelsinki also manufactures clothes."[/I]
And nice ones at that.
