‘Shanghai is an unsanitary and congested city’, the Menasha Rotary Club, 1932

Seems not everyone who went to Shanghai in the 1930s loved it – this from 1932 and a report to the Rotary Club in Menasha, Wisconsin from Robert Stough of the Wisconsin Tissue Mills. Perhaps not surprising that a tissue salesman should find a city unsanitary – just talking up business really! It doesn’t sound like a very informative meeting – let’s hope they called it a night and hit the pub quickly!!
