13,041. WHO REMEMBERS

WHO REMEMBERS
Now who remembers MaryLou
Mesh; she ran the sewing shop
of Fairborne Road. In a little
white house she kept cluttered
with cloth, people came and
went with their orders and size 
charts and all those painstaking
ideas of what they had in mind.
MaryLou Mesh would make a
9-year-old's dress in probably
three days time. Back then, 
12 dollars was a fortune to be 
had, but no more circular talk
among that time-bomb of price.
You chose the fabric you brought,
did you then not? Tell me what
you want. I do this a lot.
