A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
OVERLAND CHINA MAIL:
Time flies on wheels in the East and when mail day arrives that letter to the Home folk is still unwritten.
But there is no need to lament. OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains the cream of the news about Hongkong and the whole of China-not an item of local interest is overlooked; not a cable from the four corners of China is omitted.
Why let the Homeward mail worry you when it is made so simple and so easy for you "to keep your friends at Home fully posted with
all the local and Far Eastern happenings?
