J W Noble obituary
I see that the South China Morning Post, Wednesday, August 17, 1949, carries an obituary for Dr J W Noble.

Dentist turned around failing companies
Dr. Noble was like a doctor for sick companies. Just like a dentist fixes a painful tooth, he kept these key businesses alive when they were at death's door.
The American dentist and astute investor, two leading companies in Hong Kong (SCMP and Dairy Farm) would have likely failed in the early 20th century and not thrive to this day.
