You need to interview available relatives regarding kind of business, etc. Also, try city hall for business records, but you need the business name; contact local genealogy society or library for preWWII city directories
Try the Genealogists Address Book by Elizabeth Petty Bentley for other resources, usually available at genealogical libraries; Loewen, James W., The Mississippi Chinese:Between Black and White. Cambridge, Ma:Harvard University, 1971.
