  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    In the olden times the tailor's lived in a small department at the back of a drapery shop. They did not keep material but when a customer wanted material he always told him of the material the Drapery shop had, and so, increased the business of the shopkeeper.
    It was a custom when the tailor got an order for a wedding suit he then got a present from the shopkeeper that is if the tailor was not married and the shopkeeper was.
