  1. Tinkers

    Share Share Post
    Tinkers are a wandering class of people who roam about from place to place. They have different means of living, some make all kinds of tin ware such as cans, saucepans, strainers and so forth. They go around from house to house selling those, and beg a charity in every house. They get a saucerful of flour in one house and a grain of tea and sugar in another and by the time evening comes they have the next day's supply of food gathered.
