THE
HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933.
GOOD OLD BRITAIN, I retains its sparkio In commerce by its boundless enterprise, retains
its leadership of the world's values in all commodities by its lovel headed manufacturers, whose scrupulous relivities are divided only between giving honest value, and providing acceptable living conditions to their factory workers. Hafs of then to the British manufacturor. We any without hesitation that, taking all grades of British manufac tures from furniture to footwear, you will discover no equal in the world for honest-to-goodness valur. Britale stands alone in this.
You, as a public are being served generously by British manufacturers; what you pay for the products in between you and your relailer who in gelling too much, and has nothing to do with the British manufacturer who in getting far too tle, the fact in that dozens and dozens of British manufacturets are not even getting n fair price for their products, and any manufacturer or manufacturer's representative, pr even responsible retailer, will tell you thin,
Let us go further and tell you a startling truth; in this Colony you have been educated to understand (and rightly) that British goods are the best in the world, but you have also been taught by suggestion, that you must expert to pay more for them. This la not true. Ask any Australian sheep farmer what he obtains for his wool,nek the wool fuctor of Australia or Britain regarding his struggles to get quotations in minute fractions of a penny, and then finally discover from the big British manufacturer how he is compelled to quote in fractions of pennies for made-up garments.
Last year, more than four thousand inhabitants of Australia (n large proportion of whom were previously connected with the wool industry) left that Country because of the hopeless position between grail wool and obtainable prices,.
For years in Britain, n,number manufacturera bave been working ot practically no profit to themselves to maintain the values, which you as a publle never see.-Unemployment in Australia,-unemployment in Britain, because the demand for British products is not sufficiently woll-maintained by the Britich buying public.
Yet the Public is not to be blarnesi, for it must of userssity rely for its education of values upon the retriler,—and in badly let down.
We could give you endless instances of gross profit rising to 1507% in the Colony on British manufactures,
And what is the adverse effect; We recently inported from a famous British firm of manufacturers of high grade knitwear, a number of gents white, guaranteed all-wool sweaters which cost us but two shillings A vepeñez ench We decided to retail these at three dollaro and twenty cents each and thus give the Publie the benefit of value being Offered by British nunufacturers.
We could not sell them at this low figure, and we were finally com- pelled to raise the selling price before the public would buy, and even then our price was 15% lower than these were being retailed at els where in the Colony,
if space permitted, we could quote you intimate knowledge of what must be one of the most unhappy economic injustices in the world to- riny, unfair to the public, and unfair to the nunufacturer, tragedy to the factory workers.
You require value, the manufacturer his fair price, the unemployed his work, and you can assist with the three objects by insisting that the prices being charged for the British products you purchase, are right,
The above views on a true position are expressed by C. H. Bernard & Sons, Tailors and Out- fitters in the hope that much views opruly exprezned may be of guidance in your shopping facilities.

"Face in the Sky"
Heralded as one of the outstanding. pletures of the season, "Face of the Sky" made its debut before leal theatre-goers yesterday at the King's Theatre. Its trentment, photography and the work of its cast strike a new note in screen artistry.

It is in the unconventional direction and treatment, however, that the pleture claims distinction. The diree- tor, Harry Lachman, recently erented a sonaation abroad with his European films, and in this his first American offering, he departs radically from necepted methods of telling a story.
