IMPORTANT FACTS FOR BUSINESS MEN:
WORTH CONSIDERING.
Have you ever stopped to calculate the damage which Rats and Mice can do your stock?
In a large city like Hongkong the destruction done any mercantile stock by Rats and Mice in greater than the cost of in- surance against fire and other losses.
A few boxes of NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE used about your premises will positively keep these pests away. NEWTON'S RAT CHEESE is prepared ready for use, and all that is necessary to do, is sprinkle about where the rats run and they find it all right. They don't die in the house, but seek the drains or vaults for water, after eating.
