  1. There are two tailors in this district. When a man has a suit to make. He goes to the shop and chooses a nice pattern. Then he goes to the tailor and he takes his measure and makes his suit. Almost every person leaves his measure for a suit, Tailors are very scarce nowadays. You will get ready made suits now in the shops for fewer and higher prices. Tailors also make boy suits and overcoats. They take their measure and when the suit is made he tells his charge.
