Dear Sir,
We feel compelled, and take pride and pleasure in so doing, to inform you that the results from the First Day of our Sale, from the advertisements in the S. C. M. Past, and the H.K. Telegraph of Saturday, January 23rd, by far exceeded our most optimistic expectations. At one period of the day we were simply forced to close our doors for a short while to relieve the congestion. As we have, in consequence, so litte left of the Sale items to offer," we must ask you to withdraw the advertisement in the S. C. M.Post for the remainder of the week, and use only the H.K. Telegraph to remind our clients of this occasion.
We are, dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
