Title
A Macedonian wool peddler. Fuel is so scarce in old Macedonia, now a part of Serbia and Jugo-Slavia [sic], that special peddlers urging on a hesitating 'burre' laden with faggots, go from house to house selling a few to each regular customer. The sleeveless sheepskin coat worn by the peddler is almost part of the national costume of this section of Europe. They are so generally worn that their widespread use accounts in large measure for the shortage of wool available for exportation. In other respects the clothing of this race is still a reminder of Moslem rule and the fez turban however, in styles for a large shipment of American clothing was distributed by the American Red Cross among the poverty stricken inhabitants of all the small towns. 'Made in America' looms large among the strange looking Turkish brand
