September 13, 15 & 16, 1882 [SBMP]: “The managers of the Chinese Laundry have been doing the washing for the people of this city for many years past, and heretofore have never had any trouble. Now they are annoyed by the City Marshal every day to warn them to move away—outside the city limits. They think times are dull and will not warrant them in going to this expense, and they continue washing—that they had better find something else to do. They return thanks to the many people who have given them washing in the past, and would now ask for their assistance in endeavoring to let them remain. Notice is hereby given than unless they are permitted to remain where they are and to continue to do the washing as heretofore, that all the Chinese Laundries in this city will close next Monday, Sept. 18, 1882.
