  1. Trades long ago are much the same as the trades now but they had not the way of working that they have now. The carpenters shops long ago were not half as well furnished as the ones now because they were poor and they were not able to buy the furniture. The smiths long ago had a lot more to do than they have to do now. Because long ago they had no motors. That gave a lot to do for the smiths compared with now.
