In accordance with medieval tradition, the mercantile legislation of Sweden-Finland at the beginning of the seventeenth century decreed that, legal markets excepted, all trading was to be done in towns.1 In a country where towns were few and far between the farmer had to travel tens, even hundreds of miles to sell his products. Exhausted by the long journey, the traveller tended on arrival in the town to direct his steps to the yard of a burgher he knew of old, Out of this arose a business friendship and a relationship of hospitality. Trading in this form was known in the Baltic countries at least in the sixteenth century,2 and since the early seventeenth century at least the burgher from whom the farmer enjoyed hospitality was called majamies in Finland.3
