We have made during the last few weeks so many improvements in our store that we are almost tempted to describe it as a new store.
The latest type of Sage's stock fixtures have replaced the old ones, new glass counters have been installed, the whole lighting system re- designed and another fitting room added in our Tailoring Department: many other alterations have been made to ensure that we have the most attractive and convenient Men's Wear store in the Far East.
No fuss, no bother, no commotion whilst you make your purchases just the efficient personal service which you have leamed to associate with a firm of our'standing.
We feel sure that after the visit which we so" cordially invite, 'you will share our justifiable enthusiasm.
