Team Work in the Flowery Republic – Doing Business in 1913 China as a romantic endeavour

Posted: January 3rd, 2016 | 1 Comment »

Bizarrely in 1913 the Cincinnati Enquirer Semi-Monthly Magazine decided to include an article on doing business in China by Carl Crow in a special “Romance” issue!! Slightly odd to say the least, as they admit themselves, but apparently

Slightly odd to say the least, as they admit themselves, but apparently Crow managed an article that “reads like a romance” – reaching a bit perhaps…

Anyway, you can decide for yourself. Of course I wouldn’t post anything about doing business in China normally – too, too boring but this is a) by Carl Crow b) oddly billed as a romance and c) from 1913 and d) has some cool artwork on the page….click on the pages and they should enlarge….

    I am a great fan or worshiper of Carl Crow. I have read his books almost. Even I had translate his book, China Takes Her Place, into Japanese in 1993. Now, I was happy, because I could read his new article to me.
