    Clothes Made Locally
    There are eight tailors in this district. They are Mr. Browne, Mr. Greene, Mr. Moore, Mr. Kenny, Mr. O' Connell, Mr. Moroney, Mr. Stack, and Mr. Guiton. They all work for themselves and they have shops of their own. They never travel from house to house.
    Mr. Kenny stocks cloth but the others order it from the mills when needed no cloth is spun locally now. All the Ennis shops stock "Blarney" tweeds. Tweeds and worsteds are the materials used in men's suitings and overcoats.
