There is a Wiki entry of 117 Nam Cheong Street which mentioned Tung On Pawn Shop.

It loosely translate to:

Quote>>

Located in 117 Nam Cheong Street was Tung On Pawn Shop, at the junction of Nam Cheong & Yu Chau Streets.  The owner is of the Kou Ho Neng\Ko Ho Ning family, very active in Macau & Hong Kong then.

After the Pawn Shop business was legalized in 1926, the Tung On Pawn Shop established itself in Sham Shui Po.  It changed its name to Nam Cheong Pawn Shop in 1950 and is still being used now.
