Vakuutusyhtiöt ovat jo merkinneet viidenneksen lainasta (The Insurance Companies Have Already Subscribed a Fifth of the Loan): Finnish loan board on a truck
A plain hand-lettered board on a truck bed in Helsinki. It reports that insurance companies have already subscribed a fifth of the loan and warns 'without hurrying you will not make it in', so other subscribers' prior commitment and a closing window are the whole argument; no terms of the loan are given.
