- There are three tailors in this parish. Dan Carroll of Cummeen, Jerome Cremin of Ballygurrihy, and Dan Corcoran of Derry. All of them work at home. In olden times they travelled from house to house but all that custom is done away with now.
All of them keep their own material and from the mills they get all the material. The material is manufactured at Blarney Mills and Dripsey and they also supply the principal shops in Cork with it. The type of cloth used, is tweed, cloth, and woolens. The Implements the tailor use are the foot machine, and hand machine with ordinary needle and thimble and also a hot iron for pressing.
Shirts are not made at home now but in factories. The material used for making shirts is flanenette and linen.(continues on next page) - Collector
