AN OPEN LETTER
Dear Sir,
în
67 & 69, Des Voeux Road Central, HONGKONG.
January, 1931.
If for nothing else 1930 will be remembered in connection with the tragic, failure of the Imperial Conference in London: All the Premiera of the Empire gathered together in an attempt to reach economic unity bt they were unable to do so because they lacked vision. So we go marching blindly on as members of an Empire upon which the su never sets but which gives us no tangible economic warinth. We do not even attempt to defend our economic interests much less further them. Our peace time mentality needs. some severe jolts to get it into proper perspective. Now how do we Britishers in Hongkong feel on this question. We will soon find out. We are Agents for Wakefield's Castrol oils, The greatest achievements on Land, Sea and the Air stand to the credit of Castrol. For quality. economy and efficiency it can't by henten. Wakefield's is 100% British and it is sold by the Imperial gallon of 9 lbs. which is approximately 20 more than the American or wine gallon. Compare Castrol prices with what you are now paying. The quality will speak for itself in a very conving- ing manner. We are offering you something British of proved quality at competitive prices. 11 is, of course, better to drain your sump when switching over but H isn't absolutely necessary to do so as Castrol will mix with and improve any other oil Now don't be an economic Bulshevist but give us a chance to get into the markel. By the way an economie Bolshevist is one who continues to buy something foreign when better or equal quality Empire goods are available on better or equal terms. Ordinary Bolshevism but economic within the Empire isn't really serious Bolshevism might easily wreck the Empire,
Wakefickt's Castrol is obtainable at most garages but if you have any trouble in getting supplies please ring us up
and we will meet your requirements promptly.
His Excellency the Governor uses Castrol and so do the principal transport Companies here.
Yours faithfully,
