This is the headed writing paper of C.E. Warren & Co. Ltd., referred to in my post below, from a personal letter of my uncle Leslie Beal Warren, written on 2nd May 1941, two days after moving from his company's office in the St George's Building back down to Wanchai. The company would be finally wound up on 31st July 1941.
