Show NO LAUNDRIES IN CHINA oa aa lor ponders over what to him Is a mystery it its s the funniest thing to me said an a old sea captain who for many years was ass in the china trade as he settled himself comfortably back in his chair and blew a few rings of smoke into the air that nine out of every ten who come to this country open laundries and engage in a bus bust ness which does not exist in their native land As everyone knows the chinese at home wear soft cotton and woolen garments according to the season and there Is not a pound of starch in all china stiffly starched clothes are unknown and the chinese men do not do the washing as they do in this country neither Is there any regular laundry in the flowery kinga kingdom om therefore it Is more than passing strange that should all come to america to engage in a trade so foreign to their home industries |
