Delivery and Online Sales for Local Businesses ( New text: Bel Air - Strasburg)

I began working as a tailor with my father in Atlanta, when I was 13 years old. We hand made custom suits and did alterations for men and women and I now do the same thing with my son in Strasburg, Pennsylvania.

In the 50 plus years since I began tailoring, I have witnessed the disappearance of my trade, along with many other goods that were once made here in America.

Small businesses struggle to stay in business as less and less of what we consume is made locally.  We fail to notice that this fact has changed the nature of our community, and diminishes the quality of our lives.

You may say that sewing all day, or factory-assembly work is demeaning. Somehow we consider standing at a counter or sitting at a desk more noble than sewing, or factory-assembly work. It is true that making a coat or a shoe is repetitious work, but, eventually your mind and the work become one, and like a mantra you will start to day dream while you work, You can talk to co-workers, listen to audiobooks and if you wish even get an education.

We have forgotten what quality looks like.  I believe the reason we are losing the ability l to recognize quality is because we no longer produce what we consume, we have lost so many small and local businesses that we are no longer in touch with the people that make the items we consume. For example we may want more beef, but without contact with the butcher - how do we understand beef. Another example that is close to my hart, is that very few customers know anything about what makes a good suit of clothes,-  therefore many buy expensive junk because it is promoted by a label.    

I ask that you to give more consideration to the aesthetic qualities of life, instead of the materialistic make an attempt to shop local when you purchase items.

The service I propose, offers you local services and products on a route that goes through Lancaster -York - Baltimore and DC.-- delivered to you in person.  reword
