SEND IT HOME!

SEVERAL GOOD REASONS PROVE THAT IT WILL DE PROFITABLE IN THE INTERESTS· ÖF BONG KONG TRADE TO SEND TO, BUSINESS CONNECTIONS COPIES OF THIS WEEK'S "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"

Reports of proceedings at several company meetings are included in the issue. Nearly all the speakers, who by virtue of long experience in this Colony are qualified to give expert opinions, testify to the wonderful improvement that has been. shown during 1927 and the excellent promise shown for 1928. What more convincing argument is needed?

Advice was sought by people at Home recently as to what they should do in connection with their investments in Chinese loans. Much of importance has occurred during the week re lating to the visit to Shanghai of the Inspector-General of Customs, discussion on loan services secured by Customs surplus and Salt revenue and incidental questions. All mes sages on this subject have been reproduced in the "Overland," explaining the matter with care and precision.

Folks at Home, friends abroad and former residents will all be interested to know how Hong Kong conducted the Earl. Haig memorial service, what is being said and done by the Benevolent Society, and how Hong Kong is preparing to cope with a record visit of world-tourists.

Articles on the political situation, supported by explana tions written by experts expressly for people who do not "understand, will be found as usual in the "Overland.”
