"I have broken all records for results from the Press in 1927."
The above was the convincing declaration of Sir Charles Higham, when speaking recently at the Chelsea Chamber of Commerce, and he added these significant words of advice for the benefit of the business men he was addressing:

"The Hongkong Telegraph"
