Take for exemplo, the cost of programme advertising! How does the rate work out when compared with the cost of a similar advertise- ment in The Hongkong Telegraph?

Every advertiser should ask himself these questions in order to ensure that he is getting one hundred conta' worth of publicity for evory dollar he spends.
