I am repeating "The Story of sFette' Rugs," published in the Times News of Oct. 1. In the famine year of 1920, Mrs. Franklin Fette, an alumna of Welisley college, and wife of a former Well- sley professor, now a professor in Peking, China, ordered a rug for her living room. Before placing the order she visited various rug making shops recommended by friends and finally placed her order with Mr. Li. Before it was finished she saw a design she liked better, so offered her new rug for sale. to some tourists. It sold at once. In fact, several wished to buy it. This was in September, 1920- about the beginning of the awful and far reaching north China famine. -We were all scheming some way to aug- ment the amounts we could afford to give from our incomes, and encour- aged by the demand for her one rug, Mrs. Fette conceived the idea of turn- ing one large room in her home into a display room, and selling these rugs on commission. She went to the best manufacturers and asked if they would like to have her show their rugs. As her home was within walk- ing distance of both the large hotels and the principal business streets; this they were glad to do for the factories are mostly situated some dis- tance from that part of the city oc- cupied by the hotels and foreign resi- dences, and are reached only by nar- row, crooked streets, making it difli- cult for the Chinese rug merchants to' get in touch with tourists. And even if the adventurous tourists did find his shop, the difference of language made trading very difficult. Her success was phenomenal from the first. From a start with the sale of one rug in September, 1920, her business grew to an income of over $135,000 in 1922, and bids fair to dou- ble that this year. And that without one cent for advertising, salesmen or agents. In visiting the shops to oversee the work she realized the pitiable condi- tion of the boy weavers, most of whom were underfed and many of whom had tracoma, and in the spring, when there was no more need for famine relief she turned her attention to bettering the conditions under which the boys worked. She sent all boys afflicted with tracoma to the magnificent Rockefeller Foundation Hospital for treatment, and refused to buy rugs from any firms but those who would install individual wash basins with towels daily washed. She also hired a social worker, a returned student, who had been trained along this line in America, who, besides looking after Mrs. Fette's employes goes to all other rug factories where he is allowed, whether or not Mrs. Fette takes their output, and teaches them how to clean up and live hygenically. In a num- ber of factories she found boys half starved and not being able to con- vince the master that he should fur- nish more food, she supplies anf extra meal a day gratis. In addition she has this summer hired a trained nurse, who devotes her entire time to looking after the health of the boys from Mrs. Fette's factory, and other contributing factories. Last year she decided to open a factory of her own, run on human- itarian basis, shorter hours, a bal- anced ration, a .dormitory with beds instead of a dirty mat on the cold, clay floor, no Sunday work, etc. She was told it was impossible to run a rug factory on such principles, but her success has been such that this win- ter she will build a large model fac- tory. She has taken boys from the streets, had them taught the rug wea ing trade by her experts. Each boy is fed well and warmly clothed and as soon as he learns his trade given living wages. Also each boy is taught to read and given bible in- struction. The rugs produced are not excelled in wool, dye or workmanship any- where in China. She takes rugs from only the best shops and only those made of the best wool. Peking and Tientsin wool is good, but highest quality Chinese wool comes from the province of Shensi and is more ex- .pensive, hence other rug dealers hesi- tate to buy it. As she pays cash and takes their full output, naturally the rugmen besiege her to buy their rugs. (She does no commission business ,now), but she had gradually elimin- .ated all but one or two factories be- sides her own, encouraging these to greatly increase their loom-space. In spite of the fact that she will not compete with the 'prices of less perfect rugs made in Peking and Tientsin the demand is now so great that she is unable to keep any dis- play stock on hand for sale to tour- ists, and her orders are booked for months ahead. The "Merrick Feete" rugs are bought direct for cash from Mrs. Fette or can be ordered at a saving of 35c a square foot. Mrs. F'ette has had weaved a strip of seventy-five shades of color from which to select and has also sent twenty wonderful hand- painted water color or rugs painted by Chinese artists. A new shipment of 26 rugs has just arrived. MRS. H. B. MERRICK, Phone 265-J. -Adv. Goodrich Straightlines are the best you'll find.
