Bamboo Shop, Sianfu,- China. 
A bamboo shop on one of the main streets of Sianfu, 
Shensi, China, making an exhibit of its various wares. 
Americans have as a rule no conception of the handiness 
of bamboo timber for the manufacture of many small articles 
useful around a country home. Such a shop as the above 
illustrates some of the uses which are made by the Chinese 
of this peculiar hollow timber. Photo by Mr. Prank N.
