Directory & Chronicle

For the Far East.

1928 Edition.

THE DIRECTORY AND CHRONICLE, COMPRIS ING NEARLY 2,000 PAGES, GIVES ALL THE IMPORTANT FOREIGN FIRMS, WITH THEIR STAFFS, ESTABLISHED BETWEEN VLADIVOSTOCK IN THE NORTH AND JAVA AND BORNEO IN THE SOUTH.

It has been published annually for the past 65 years and is recognised by all European merchants as an INVALUABLE and INDISPENSABLE WORK OF REFERENCE.

The Foreign Residents comprise a list of nearly 20,000. names and addresses arranged. with the initials well as the Surnames in strictly alphabetical order so that any name can be found instantly.

Not only is the Directory as full and complete in each case as it can be made, but each Colony, Port or Settlement is prefaced by a Description; carefully revised each year... The information in these Descriptions, consisting of a hundred interesting articles, packed with facts concisely set out, and containing statistics of the Trade of each Country and Port, would alone suffice to fill a large volume.
