Advertising railroad employment for Chinese labor

From: "Brian McGuirk" brian.mcguirk@state.or.us

I'm a Librarian at the Oregon State Library working on a reference question on behalf of one of our state agencies. They are trying to locate any advertisements, leaflets, or signs advertising employment for Chinese labor from the railroads. If you have any ideas where I could track down such material or a picture of an original please contact me ...

Great website BTW!
