Full title:Mrs. S. Okimoto, formerly of Seattle and Minidoka, operates the Wisteria Tea Room, 212 E. Ohio Street, in Chicago's
fashionable Gold Coast neighborhood. She's a pioneer--one of the first to leave a Relocation Center, said S. Nagano, an old
Chicago Issei resident, who has helped Mrs. Okimoto finance the restaurant. Chicago is a wonderful place, Mrs. Okimoto says,
and I plan to stay here--at least as long as business is as good as it is. The Wisteria Tea Room employs six regular workers
and caters to both Caucasians and resettlers. Mrs. Okimoto has a married daughter and a granddaughter.<lb/> Photographer:
