WHY WE ARE IN KOWLOON,

Last Spring we decided that the popular shop; ing district of the future will be in Kowloon. We looked about and took space which we considered to be ideal for the Jade Trioe needs. Now we have decided that it is a mistake to divide stocks, so we have taken additional space in Kowloon, Here we have light, air, spase to show our merchandise properly-and best of all an overe head that will admit of our selling the well-known high quality Jade Tree merchandise at the low prices at which we want to sell it

Everyone arrive in Kowloon. Everyone leaves Erdu. Kowloon, An increas ing number of people are coming to live in Kowloon. Hong Kong people attend various social functions here, they play golf at Fanling: We think they will also shop in Kowloon-when they know the many advantages of it. We invite them all te come in and see our new premises. Drop in for sup of tea on the way home from golf-or work-and leisurely do the shopping that would otherwise be a task to carry over for another day,
