Comments
Column in Lincoln County Advocate of Merrill, WI (1/16/1884):
“We understand there is a Chinese Laundry in town. If so, it ought to receive no patronage. They are a filthy, heathenish set, that in no way help a place and the work they do should be given to poor women who need it to keep themselves and little ones from starving and freezing to death this cold weather. Don’t patronize them boys, and by that means they will soon be compelled to leave town.”
