Commencing in a small way, the business did not at first flourish, probably due to the fact that pro- spective customers had become so accustomed to bargaining that it was found very difficult to impress upon them that full value was being given for their money by the introduction of the fixed price principle. Indeed, the first year's operation proved so disappointing that many of the shareholders favoured an immediate liquida- tion, but Mr. Ma Ying Più would have none of this, and the stores Dr. D. J. Valentine, said that established to-day in Des Voeux when the woman was admitted to Road, Hongkong, Nanking Road, the hospital he noticed that Shanghal, the Bund at Canton, her breathing. was difficult. and elsewhere will for ever stand as monuments to his tenacity, foresight and enterprise.

Four years later two other branches were established in Canton, one of which was unfor tunately totally destroyed by fire' in 1921. The year 1917 saw the opening of the largest of all the Sincere branches, the imposing five storied building occupying whole block on Nanking Road, Shanghai, and later premises were secured at Singapore, Nanking and Yaumati.
