R H. C. Ting, Managing Director of one of Hongkong's largest plastic moulding factories In given the "go-ahead" on the production of the most gruesome Ittiş doll.
Jackie Is 15 inches high. He wears a clean while sult and while shoes. He looks rather like val ward orderly in a hospital.
But he is the skeleton in the Kader Co, cup- board!.
-Mr Ting who came down from Shanghai has very few other skeletons to worry about,
He did of course lose torch and battery factory in Shanghai worth a fortune. But when he arrived down in Hongkong he Wag moro fortunate thon most, because there was a local subsidiary of his flashlight empire... a plastica factory producing small parts for torches.
As he settled down to building up this subsidiary he became more and more fascinated with plastles. His operations became more and more complicated. He needed more and more staff for the manual operations that became necessary in toy making.
To attract the best people, he gave the best conditions possible. There were few labour troubles and no strikes... and the factory grew from strength to strength, ¤ place with no skeletons in the cupboard.
So Mr Ting decided to make his own. The result is "Jackle.”
Jackle has no skin on his body. Take off his neat whlio suit, and you fly him alive.
But the shoes come off, to disclose fook And the face and scalp come off, and show a cranium.
And the chest comes off to show the ribs, and liver, and heart, and stomach.
Each part comes out of its place,
Soon he will makeo visit to Hongkong University for a checkover by the doctors, just to see that he is all in order. After all, it would not do if he didn't have his heart in the right place, would he?
After that Jackie will retail at around $20
