ADVERTISING
DURING
1938
It is the consistently advertised product which makes the steady gain in sales. This way the consumer is constantly reminded of a particular product. Newspaper advertising is pro- ferred to any other form because it enables the advertiser to place his message before the consumer in the most effective manner. It can be changed every day. It does not become monotonous.
The "South China Morning Post" and "The Hongkong Telegraph** provide the finest media, guar- anteeing the largest morning and afternoon circulations.
Make 1938 a more prosporaus year by using the two loading newspapers.
