HAPPY ADVERTISING. 5.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1933.

GOOD OLD BRITAIN, it retains its sparkle in commerce by Its boundless enterprise-retains its leadership of the world's values in all commodities by its love)- hended manufacturers, whose scrupulous activities are divided only between giving honest value, and providing acceptable living conditions to their factory workers. Hals off then to the British manufacturer. We say without hesitation that, taking all grades of British manufac- tures from furniture to footwear, you will discover no equal in the world for honest-to-goodness value. Britain stands alone in this.

You, as a public aro being served generously by British manufacturers; : what you pay for the products is between you and your retailer whe 1s getting too much, and has nothing to do with the British manufacturer who getting for too little, the fact is that dozens and dozens of British manufacturers are not even getting fale price for their products, and any manufacturer or manufacturer's representative,—or even responsible retailer will tell you this.

Let us go further and tell you a startling truth; in this Colony you have been educated to understand (and rightly) that British goods aro the best in the world, but you have alw been taught by siggration, that you must expect to pay more for them. This is not true.. Ask any Australian sheep farmer what he obtains for his wool,-ank the wool factor of Australia or Britain regarding his atruggles to get quotations in aufnute fractions of a penny, and then Anally discover from the big Bellish manufacturer how he is compelled to quate in fractions of pennies for made-up garments.

Last year, more than four thousand inhabitants of Australia (a large proportion of whom were previously connected with the wool industry) left that Country because of the hopeless position between good wool and obtainable priers.

For years in Britain, a number of manufacturers have been working at practically no profit in themselves to maintain the values, which you na n publle never red.--Unemployment in Australia,-unemployment in Britain, because the demand for British products is not sufficiently well-maintained by the British toying public..

Yet the Publie is not to be Slated, for it must of necessity rely for its edmeation of values upon the retailer-and in badly let down.

We could give you endless instoners of gross proft rising to 150% in the Colony on British manufactures,

And what is the adverse effect; We recently imported from a famous British firm of manufacturers of high grade knitwear, a number of gents white, guaranteed all-wool sweaters which cost us but two shillings and fivepence each. We decided to retail these nt three dollars and twenty cents each and thus give the Public the benefit of value being Offered by British manufacturers.

We could not sell them at this low figure, and we were finally rom- pelled to raise the selling price before the publie would buy, and even then our price was 40% lower than these were being retailed at clse- where in the Colony.

If space permitted, we could quote you intimate knowledge of what must be one of the most unhappy economic injustices in the world to day, unfair to the public, and unfair to the manufacturer, tragedy to the factory workers.

You require value, the manufacturer his fair price, the unemployed his work, and you can assist with the three objects by insisting that the prices being charged for the British products you purchase, are

RE right.

He grinned broadly. "Give me the ones you don't talk about then." He removed a silver cigarette case from his pocket and flipped it open. "Smoke?"

The girls declined. The stranger selected a cigarolto, lighted it and puffed as if he were there for the evening..

But he was in rather more of a hurry than had at first appeared. he said briskly, "Now then," "where's the anse?”

Without speaking Monn moved to the wall, pushed aside, a tapestry, twirled dini and flung open a small door. The safe was empty,

"I told you I had no jewels," sho uld "My husband is saving them for the opera."

The man eyed her. "Are you sure of that?"

She nodded coolly.

"Well, where does he keep them?" "Ta safe deposit vault. I aup- pose, down town. I've never seen thom. I've never been interested." "No?" It was difficult to believa this young man was a thief. He surveyed the situation hs though were humorcus.. "It appears we're both new at this game-you at owning gems and me quiring them. Bad racket for both of us, maybe. Well, if you haven't got them, that's that. But where is the chain you were wearing when
