Ford Taxis ad - 1941

If you needed a taxi in Shanghai in 1941 you could just call Ford Taxis – just dial (and you would of course be dialling as you should on all good phones and not button punching) 30189.

    Hi Paul,

    If you are based in Hong Kong, you can get “The Chinese Puzzle” from the Chinese Univ of Hong Kong Library.

    Best,

    Sascha

    excellent – am Shanghai-based but passing through HK in a fortnight and am a member of the library.
