  1. Travelling People

    Share Share Post
    Some travellers sell Prayer-Books, beads, scapulars, etc., and more sell glass. These travellers are sometimes called tinkers or gipsies.
    These things that they sell are got in the shops and they get them cheap when they are buying a lot of them. Many of these people buy tin and make cans of it for selling, and they make much profit on this besides buying these cans ready-made.
    Some of these people travel on foot and more on horses and vans.
