The Hongkong. Telegraph. Not only does the advertiser reach the majority of local homes, hotels, clubs and ships, but his message is freely circulated throughout the Outports, No other form of advertising possesses; the same advantages.
The very fact that newspaper adver- tising accompanies the over-changing news of the day ensures that it is read in the right place at the appropriate moment;
