FOREIGN MAILS
HONGKONG, SATURDAY, 14th AUGUST, 1940, 9.30: A.M.
The General Post Office will be closed at 6.30 pm, on Tuesday 27th August 1940.
The arrivals and departures of malls from and to neighbouring countries and coast ports, of which there is a frequency of more than one service a week will not in future be advertised.
This decision has been arrived at after careful consideration, and the public are requested to co-operate to the extent of forbearing to inquire by telephone the dates of such malls, as answering such inquiries makes heavy inroads on the time of the postal staff.
The Public are requested to note particularly the time of closing the Imperial and Pan American A, Malls on Tuesday, 27th August, 1940.
