QR – Cure – Quizzing Realms - 56

Another quickie…

what

I will be honest. The credit does not go to me for this question. I 're-used’ or ‘re-cycled’ this question from somewhere else.

Simply tell me: which company or organisation’s initial advertisements are these?

Happy identifying, and have a nice life, folks!

Five replies, and cracked.

Although I was looking for just the ‘Finnish Rubber Factory’, I will accept Nokia too. Further info in Rajiv’s comments.

  4. Berner Ltd.

    in 1966-1967, Suomen Kaapelitehdas (Finnish Cable Works), Suomen Gummi-tehdas (Finnish Rubber Works) & Nokia, a 100 year old wood grinding mill, were merged to form Nokia Corporation.

    But in 1990, Nokian Footwear Ltd. founded, splitting from Nokia Corporation.

    & in 2005, a Finnish company called Berner Ltd. acquires Nokian Footwear.

    So, even though those ads were for the Suomen Gummi-tehdas which became Nokia Crporation, according to today those ads can be seen as the initial advertisements of Berner Ltd.
