    summer in this part of the country. They wear shoes in Winter. Boots are repaired in this district. There are no shoe makers in my district but there is one cobler. His name is Joseph Flynn. He lives in Harristown. In olden times there were a lot of shoe makers in my district. The shoes are made in factories now. People buy the shoes in the shops. Long ago people used to wear clogs. Some people wear them yet. The clogs were light and the soles were made of wood. The clogs were warmer than the shoes.
