  1. On Clothes

    Share Share Post
    A few years ago there were two tailors around this parish. The tailors long ago used to make suits and flannel waist coats. Long ago there was a tailor going around to every farmer's house. He would remain there for a month patching and mending their cloths. The tailors are not getting as much to do now as long ago because nearly all the suits are ready-made. There was also a tailor going around to the Barrack to mend the Policeman's clothes.
