FANS ARE MADE IN CHINA
Established Village Industry Near
the City of Swallow.
II Was started Centuries Ago and
Work Is Done Chiefly
by Women.

The following account Of fan making in
Southern China is from Consul Albert
W. Pontius, at Swallow:
This industry was started centuries ago
in the village Of Pengchow, at Ampow,
about three miles from Swallow. It was
formerly confined to women in various
households. but for many years past
every family in the village has been de-
voted to the work, all the members of
the families being occupied in the manu-
facture. In the city Of Chaochowfu Itself
the fan industry is also large, but the
Pengchow district abounds IN a particu-
lar kind of bamboo especially suitable for
the ribs and handle, and TO this fact is
the large output of the latter place at
tributed.
Only the open fan is manufactured in
this district For the frame the split
bamboo is repeatedly rived until each
piece Is sufficiently slender and flexible
These thread~like pieces of bamboo are
arranged in a row. attached to each
other by a thread passed crosswlse
through the middle. This thread is fast
ened to a semicircular strip of bamboo
giving the fan its shape The ribs are
then slightly heated and bent at the ends
The fan has now the peculiar and char
.asteristic shell-like shap at the top. Very
fiimsy silk gauze is then pasted on the
face and a kind of tissue-like paper on
the back
After the handle is attached the border
Of the fan is black vanished and the
gauze is coated with a chalk-and-water
mixture The handles are made Of ham
boo. various kinds of hardwood. bone
and ivory The hand painting on the
fans is eleverly done. in some instances
being works of art. The medium quality
fan retails for 25 cents Mexican 30 cents
gold, better grades 81 to "a Mexican 90
cents to $3.50. The amount now EXPORT
ed yearly amounts to about $4,000. The
fan trade Of late has shown decrease
due TO the importation of japanese straw
fans, which have met with a favorable
demand.
