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 pre- 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,

Cross-examined, he denied having discussed with plaintiff the evidence he was going to give, but admitted having spoken of the case with his and defendant's relatives.
"OLD" RESIDENT "PASSES AWAY
On being called to give evidence, Li Wan, a clerk in the employ of Messrs. Lyson and Hall, told the M-700 4DR Court he was afraid to say anything because his mother would punish him if he did so. However, he was ordered by His Lordship to testity, and, in reply to Mr. Silva, he said defendant was a concubine of his father's. On November 20, defend- ant went to his house and asked his mother not to allow him to associate with Fat Yuen (plaintiff) as he was a lan yen (rascal). Since then, on the advice of his mother, he had not associated
with plaintiff, although some ten days after defendant's visit he met Yuen and told him of it.
In reply to Mr. McCallum, witness Bald plaintif had been to his office several times to ask him to give evidence on his behalf; but there had never been any discussion of the case between them.
At this stage the case was ad Journed until next Thursday at 10
