ADVERTISING
DURING

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 becausa It enables the advartisor to place his message before the consumer In the most, affective 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- antooing the largest morning and afternoon circulations. -
