Tako for example, the cost of programme advertising How does the rate work out when compared with the cost of a similar advorlise- ment in The Hongkong Telegraph?
Every advertiser should ask himself those questions in order to ensure that he is getting one hundred cunts' worth of publicity for overy dollar he spends.
When you have made your calculations, nat forgetting the probable maximum number of people who may see a programme, allow us to give you delinite proof of the number of people who read The Hongkong Telegraph every, day.
