In- cidentally, I have to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for honour- ing us with your presence, as well as for your past support. I have also to thank our many friends for the housewarming gifts and kind wishes they have so kindly sent us.
The Bank owes its existence to Mr. Ma Ying-płu, who, with tho valued co-operation of Mr. Wong Kwok-shuen, the present Chief Manager, and the Board of Direc- tors, founded the Bank in 1921 with promises at No. 144 Des Voeux Road, Central. Due to the wise direction and untiring efforts of these gentlemen, especially Mr. Ma Ying-piu, the Bank's 'busi- ness expanded rapidly, so much so that more spacious premises had to be acquired to cope with our growing business. Since we are now more centrally, situated, we are confident that we are now in a position to offer our clientele better service, and trust that our customers will in future extend to us a larger measure of support. For this imposing building which I am about to open. our thanks are due to Messrs. Palmer and Turner, the well-known chitects, through whose reputa- tion and influence special pernils- Alon was obtained to erect our building to an unusual height. We also thank the well-known

The guests then entered the premises, and after drinking to the future prosperity of the Bank, were escorted over the building. Of special interest was the Safe Deposit Vault, which unlike other buildings in Hongkong, la situat- ed on the first floor. This ar- rangement prevents dampness and mould from attacking any deeds or papers which may be lodged in the vault by customers of the Bank.
Architecturally, the new Banki is one of the most imposing and modern buildings in the Colony. The interior decorations are on a lavish scale, the marbling being unique,
