   made I only know of one shoe-maker just now, some years ago there were more.
   The leather made from pig-skin is said to be very good. Long ago the shoes that were worn were different from the shoes of today. The ladies wore boots up over their ankles, it was very seldom a shoe was worn. The shoes made now are not as good, or they do not last so long as the ones made long ago.
