COVERAGE: For many years the "South China Morning Post" has been regarded as the leading nowspaper in Hongkong and South China. It has by far the largest círculation, penetrating to the Outports and inland contres. "The Hongkong Telegraph" enjoys a similar pro-ominence as the leading afternoon

newspaper.

IN THE HOME: The newspaper that pro- duces profitable results to the advertiser i tho nowspaper that is read and re-road by the family. The 5. C. M. Post reaches most families with morning tea. Similarly, "The Hongkong Talograph" is the afternoon favourite with the majority.

LOCAL PRESTIGE: The judgmont of "the man on the spot" 'in respect to media selection is based on sound knowledge and can be followed with confidence. Year in and year out leading local firms expend the greater part of their allocations in the "South China Morning Post" and "The Hongkong- Telegraph."
