If the customers did not have the leather he would supply it. The first boots ever worn by many of the older men in the town were made by Captain Towle. He also did mending and repairing, called cobbling. John Brown, Esq. , did quite a large business in custom work in the upper part of the town. Sewall Brown did a great deal of mending and cobbling. Before these men made boots and shoes in their shops it was the custom for the shoemaker to take his kit of tools and go from house to house, where... he worked until each member of the family was supplied. This method w r as known as "whipping the cat. " All this happened before the clays of ready- made goods, and the appearance of boot and shoe stores in every place of any considerable size. After this there were a great many sale shoes made in the town in little shops or in a room in the dwelling-house fitted for the pur- pose. Ladies' turned shoes were the kind made here. A great deal of money was earned in this town by doing this kind of work fifty years ago.
