Although the exterior of The Jade Tres buildings look ns though we were closed down — wo are very fur from it. So many people have mistaken the closing of the shutters, that we want to explain that it is only to keep the dust out of our patrons. Behind the shutters there is plenty of light-and the finest showing of goods that we have ever had in Hong Kong.
The new building-or the new portion of the building-will be ready for occupancy about the 10th of February. In the meantime we have erected a long and showy banner to tell. the story of what is taking place. But business as usual.
Sincerely yours.
