Chinese Servants – Recommended – “Knows English Cooking”

Where exactly did Shanghailanders get there servants from? Well, classified ads in the North-China Daily News were one way. Of course there were agencies such as the General and the Central (and if anyone can identify where Linda Terrace was in Shanghai I’d love to know as I didn’t come across that one when researching my Old Shanghai A-Z??). The other way was for servants to advertise themselves – “Experienced Cook” – not sure “knows English cooking” is a great recommendation!!
