Wow, at the very top of the contract it says

Brusque - Sta. Catharina

That h looks so out of place to me. It looks like etymological ch, ph, and th (for vocabulary derived from Greek) were abolished in 1943

The language evolves with society, Santa Catarina now is spelled like this. Brazilian Portuguese had a bunch of strange phonemes in the early XX century, to be honest.
Pharmácia, anyone?
