Drumming Up Business

Well, this certainly is a different marketing ploy. Perhaps it's more effective than expensive advertisements. I admire ingenuity!

And I have plenty of sewing repairs just waiting for somebody like that!

Great photo.

I like this much better than a 'will work for food' sign that we so often see. Though, perhaps this is not a sign for a homeless type person and I'm speculating....

je suis d'accord avec toi, beaucoup d'imagination chez cette personne.


I agree with you, much of imagination at this person.

Amazing! Would be interesting to see where you found this one. Any person around?

Amazing photo! I agree with you, I admire such ingenuity!

Thanks for your nice comment about my wheat's fields photos!

Ingenuity - what America was built on!
Hope it works out for the entrepreneur.

Honestly, that is almost exactly what they used to do after the war in Japan. And they used to do it that way in India. Very nice signage.

Also, thanks for visiting and, just returned from Walmart where I see for $32.98 or so, you can buy Ken Burns book about the series War.

I wonder if the person has any takers. I guess I am a doubting Thomas but I would wonder if I would get my clothes back again.
On the flip side I admire thier wanting to find work.

I like it when someone goes after it to get some work. My kind of person. :)

Well, the sign says "sewing machine" so the person must have a home in which to sew....

Wow, wonder where they sew if they advertise like this. Clever.

A lady at our church is a master seamstress. She's a homemaker, but keeps extra busy with just word of mouth work from the people at our church.

Neither my wife nor I can sew, and we've paid her to sew many things in the past ten years.

There aren't nearly as many people with sewing skills as even one generation ago.

Funny and efficient. No details left unattended.
