1. Tailors

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There are four tailors now in my district. Mr. Horan and Mr. Kelly in Ballygar and Mr. Fahy and Mr. McGrath in Mountbellew. They work in their homes. They ? stock cloth-tweed and serge. Cloth is not spun and woven locally.
   There are no sayings or traditions connected with tailors or tailoring.
   The tailor uses a sewing-machine, a smoothing iron and a needle.
   Shirts are sometimes made in the homes but are generally bought in the shop. Ready-made shirts are often made of linen. There are no accounts of shirts of linen from flax grown locally. Socks and stockings are very often knitted in the homes. They are sometimes made of home-spun thread. There are about thirty spinning-wheels in this district.
   Special clothes are not worn at special times only that better clothes are worn on Sundays, feast days, etc. than on weekdays.
