Details
'Erki' is the abbreviation for 'Recognition Institute'. This institute assessed the competence of the prospective stationery dealer. Without this 'recognition' it was impossible to start a business in office supplies. The aspirant had to pass an exam in which knowledge was tested about paper, fountain pens and storage devices, but also about archiving, administration systems and trade knowledge.

'Erki' is de afkorting van 'Erkenningsinstituut'.
Dit instituut beoordeelde de vakbekwaamheid van de aankomende kantoorboekhandelaar. Zonder deze 'erkenning' was het onmogelijk een handel in kantoorartikelen te beginnen. De aspirant moest een examen afleggen waarbij kennis getest werd over papier, vulpennen en opbergmiddelen, maar ook over archivering, administratiesystemen en handelskennis.
