We should also like to thank the public of Hong Kong for the sup- port which they have given to this new local industry. In these times when matters do not look too bright for some of our largest and oldest industries, it is en- couraging to feel that as long as we produce a beer" of really drst quality we can rely on the whole- hearted support of the public of Hong Kong. It is perhaps too much to expect that we can sult the palate of everybody, but we can guarantee the purity of our beer. It is manufactured from the best European malt and hops, with no preservatives or other harmful ingredients of any kind

and we intend to adhere strictly to that standard of quality.

I desire to take this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks to our Office and Brewery staff both European and Chinese-for the excellent work which they have done during the past year.
