In view of His Royal Highness' approach- ing visit to Hongkong the Company would have liked to have distributed these por- traits to all their Customers, knowing how much they would be appreciated under these special circumstances.

As unfortunately there are too few,

the Company have decided to present one of these Portraits (until their stock is ex- hausted) to every purchaser of one sealed tin of 500 Three Castles Cigarettes, packed in ten boxes, who applies enclosing a remittance of $6.00 to the "Three Castles" Department British-American Tobacco Co.
