He operated Dai Song Tong until the early 1920s. There are eighty small drawers, ten larger drawers and a door compartment in the bottom in the chest. Each drawer has a brass handle and Chinese characters painted in gold in each of the four corners. Individual ingredients for making traditional Chinese treatments were stored in each drawer. The chest was brought to the home of one of his daughters prior to the Chinatown fire in September 1960.
