    but long ago the tailors used go from house to house making clothes for big farmer's families, but the tailors now make clothes at their own home.
    The tailors in this district stock cloth and when people are getting clothes made with them they generally buy the material from them also. The types of cloth worn at the present time are tweed, cotton, flannel, linen and many other types of cloth.
