...northern timberland to a modest cottage draped with a fishing net on the island of Tjorn, Skandinaviska's 284 branches thoroughly cover the country. While assiduously courting the rural shepherds and woodsmen, it does not overlook the city folk, either at home or abroad. In the heart of Stockholm, it has for the past two years been bulldozing away hills and laying girders for an eleven-story stone-and-glass palace of money that is currently Sweden's biggest construction job. Last week the bank celebrated the festive ''roof laying" at the building, into which...
Piece of Cake. The professional is Colonel Stig Erik Constans Wennerström, 58, tall, handsome, dashing Swedish diplomat, air attache for his embassy in Washington from 1952 to 1957.

Says Lars Erik Thunholm, president of Stockholm's Skandinaviska Bank: "The nationalization of industry is a dead issue as long as private enterprise shows the ability to continue expanding the economy." There is no sign that Europe's neocapitalists, who have gathered new strength from the fusion of ideas and methods, are about to lose that...
Prompt Payment. Capitalists have no quarrel with the way Russians pay their bills: on time and in hard currency. The reason, of course, is that the Russians want to encourage even more capital ists to do business with them. Last week a Soviet trade delegation arrived in Stockholm to see if anyone wanted to build another pulp mill. And Soviet officials stirred new interest among British businessmen by announcing that they had the go-ahead to negotiate for eleven more chemical and fertilizer plants worth about $280 million...
