  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are three tailors in the district. They work at their homes. Some years ago they used to go around to the houses when required.
    They do not sell cloth. The cloth is not spun or woven locally. The implements the tailor used in work is needle, thimble, scissors, thread, a measure, and a sewing-machine.
