One Of the most ready ways of raising
money practised by the im%pecunious is
the hypothecation OF soiled linen. The
bankers are the Chinese laundrymen,
whose places are SO numerously scattered
over the city. When a needy individual
has no other collateral to put up for
a short loan he finds in John a friend in
need, who is always ready to make an adj
vance o m a bundle of shirts. collars or
cuffs. Very often the loan almost euals
the value of the security. but John
shrewdly reasons that his customer will
let other claims go by default before he
will forfeit the. shirts and collars so
necessary to making a ~presentable APP
p~earance. The custom of making use Of
the laundryman as an .uncle' is said to
have originated In San Francisco, and
was brought eastward by returning trav-
