- There is one tailor in this district. He works in his own home and does not travel from place to place.
When people want clothes made they go to the tailor and he takes their measure and then makes the clothes for them. The implements that the tailor uses are a spool and needle and scissors and tape and sewing machine.
Socks and stockings are knitted locally. There are no spinning wheels in this district now.- Collector
