There's a registration of the "Pelican" trademark in 1924 from a Scottish company "Arthur & Company (Export) Limited" for "cotton piece goods of all kinds":
Couldn't find information on internet about the distributor - "Dah Sing company" - which indicated on the bottom left in four Chinese characters. I wonder if the present day Dah Sing Bank is related to the former 'Dah Sun department store' which operated in Canton and Hong Kong half a century ago.
I have found a similiar company on internet in the Philippines:

I wonder if it's the same Pelican company shown here?

Hello David,
Couldn't find information on internet about the distributor - "Dah Sing company" - which indicated on the bottom left in four Chinese characters. I wonder if the present day Dah Sing Bank is related to the former 'Dah Sun department store' which operated in Canton and Hong Kong half a century ago.
