“Magic Washer” Detergent Advertisement

1684
George Dee Magic Washer detergent uses an image of "Uncle Sam kicking out the Chinaman" to sell soap, coinciding with the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. The machine's manufacturers might have hoped their product would displace Chinese laundry operators and framed their message with patriotic symbols.
