| Credit Draper's Traveller |
- Items of drapery would have been bought on credit from the drapery shop and he was responsible for collecting the weekly payments. The forerunner of today's credit cards. It is possible that he actually sold the goods door to door.
They were also known as Scotch Drapers, Scotch Travellers or Tallymen, and the trade did not always have a great reputation. Some charged what amounted to extortionate rates of interest, and exploited their customers, who were on the whole poor and didn't have many choices. The reputable members of the trade were at great pains to emphasise just how upstanding and well-regulated their profession was, and to distance themselves from the unscrupulous operators who were getting them a bad name.
