When Brother Rutherford visited the Örebro convention in Sweden in May 1925, he announced that in Copenhagen, Denmark, an office would be opened for Northern Europe. It would oversee the work in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland, although the branch office in Finland would continue as before. The Watch Tower reported: “Brother Dey, of London, was requested to accept the post as the Society’s representative and general manager for the Northern European Office. . . . Brother Dey gives up an important government position in London to enter the service of the King of kings.” Brother Dey’s regular visits strengthened the activity in Finland in the same way that the visits of the zone overseers have in recent years.
