Swiss Typewriter Letterheads

Inspired by Richard's post presenting the typewriter letterheads used at a recent typefest, I am happy to show you some Swiss 1930s letterheads. These are ready for download (follow the link by clicking on the pictures / alternative download from this page). Format is A4, but is should work just as well when printing them out on U.S. standard letter paper.

August Baggenstos was general representative for Hermes in German-speaking Switzerland. He wrote a cool book on typewriters, too.

Louis-Marius Campiche was general representative of Hermes in the French-speaking parts of Switzerland

M.L. Campiche also sold Victor calculating machines
