Hcady-madc clothes are the nswer to this trend. Kaslner said only 18 boys In Henna oul of a population" of .7 million have started as tal- or apprentices in the past years. The number of tailor shops las ulso drastically declined, had 16,322 such shops in 925, but only 3,049 in 1063 and mly 1,712 a year ago. The trend was somewhat sim- lar in Hie rural provinces.
