David Hume, baker, was recorded as a resident in Hong Kong in 1843. Queen's Road was listed as his address in 1843.
He posted a notice in the May 4, 1843 issue of the Friend of China and said that new orders for breads were entertained provided a 24-hour prior notice was given; additionally, customers ordering meat pies and fruit tarts had to send in their own dishes ahead of time. Hume stood behind his bakery products by giving a warranty that his bread would keep for 10 to 12 days.
