The comfort

of

being right!

You can always tell a careful dresser by a glance in the region of his neck Since beards went out of fashion, men have grown increasingly conscious of the need for a facial set-off. This is a task admirably performed by shirt, collar and tie..

But. nature has been lavish in the bestowal of variations and a little skill is therefore necessary in choosing these items.

We have gained plenty of this skill and are always willing to share it. Why not ask us, and enjoy the comfort of being right?

Mr. Leung Pat Yu, Gentlemen,

I deem it a great, honour, to be in- vited to come here today to per form the opening ceremony of the reconstructed Yad Chi Fong

It is not only an honour but a very genuine pleasure. I have been in close touch with the Directors. of Tung Wah Hospital throughout the past year, and I have been grently, impressed by the energy and Enthusiasm which they have brought to their arduous task. The other day we saw the opening of two new wings at the Tung. Wah East Hos- pital. And to-day we are here to celebrate the reconstruction of the Yarr Yan Fong. These activities are evidence of the unsparing efforts of the Directors and of the Advisory Board.

I do not propose to speak in de tail of this new building, but. I should like to refer specially to the- proposed accommodation for tuber. cular patients, which is a gratifsing improvement. (Applause.)

On behalf of the Hong Kong Gov. ernment I think you, Mr. Leung Pat Yu, and your fellow-directors,

This year is also the Gotli anni- verenty of the establishment of the Tang Wah Hospital, and in offering my congratulations, I also express tho earnest wish that your Hospital will go from strength to strength and bring incalculable benefit to the poor and to the sick. (Applause.)
