What was it like at the farms - or did shoemakers and tailors come to the farms where you worked - Yes, the shoemaker came and the tailor came, yes. For the employees they... or for the owners they made some shoes, a pair. And when the tailor came they got a pair of trousers. A pair of trousers for everyone, possibly also a jacket, but rarely. But trousers, yes. That is entirely - .. every year the tailor and the shoemaker came once. When I was a child it was nice .. to watch them work. I was interested in their work: that's how you make things. Yes, in those days they went from house to house, to the farmers. Did other craftsmen come also? No. There weren't any others that I know about. Many peddlers came. Peddlers ... - they had a kind of basket on their backs and in front a - ..., and there they had everything you needed, everything! Needles, underwear, playing cards - they had everything you can imagine in their baskets. And people bought from them. Wool and ribbons ....yes, many of them came. Lighters and - and everything! You could buy socks from them. Yes.
