SHOES FOR HONG KONG
Big Order For City Firm
A Hong Kong department store owner with at least £50,000 to spend in New Zealand in one week (Mr M. C. Tsang) has bought £l5OO worth of footwear from the Christchurch firm of M. O’Brien and Company, Ltd. He bought more than 500 pairs of shoes for men, women and children over a wide range of styles and types. The company’s managingdirector (Mr M. F. O’Brien) said that this was the big break-through into the Southeast Asian market that his company had been looking for. It exceeded any of his company’s previous sales in the area. Mr Tsang, he said, had said that yesterday’s order would be the first of several orders to be placed with his firm.
