THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1929.

I accept your estimate-

for installing a Gas Cooker in each of

the twelve houses in....

J

In my experience with other quarters in the Colony, Gas is far better and cheaper than Coal in the long run.

The Coal Stoves, which are now quite worn ont, were continually being repaired and owing to the dirt they made, the kitchens had to be re-decora- ted all too frequently. As you keep hired Cookers in repair and as Gas- is so clean, both these items of expense will be saved in future..

many

smart women ask ....... "Why does Holeproof Hosiery outlast all others?”

HEY wear Holeproof rich natural

Tsilk hosiery. They know how many

more months it lasts. But the secret of its long wearing quality they never realize. It's the Holeproof "Ex" rein- forcement at the toe... a reinforce- ment so finely woven the foot cannot feel it... the eye barely secs it. Yet it is the arch enemy of holes.

And Holeproof Hosiery is first in fashion, too. A famous Parisian fash- ion authority, Lacile, creates correct colours... dictates the newest idea în heels and clocks... makes Holeproof Hosiery a smart accessory to every ensemble.
