OSV Facts Working at the Freeman Farm was a very important job. You were very dependent on your family to help you out because, usually, you had your family working on the farm with you. When you were a farmer, your children were used for labor. What you produced on the farm, such as dairy products, you would sell them to the town store, so you could make money off of the items you sold. If you didn't have any cows on your farm you wouldn't make a lot of money. Restulting in which, you would not make enough money to support your family, which would lead to your family moving. The town really relies on what your produce on the farm to use in their everyday life. Whenever a tool used on the farmed would break or not be useful anymore you would have to get a new one or get your item fixed at the blacksmith. If you didn't have the blacksmith nearby, you would probably have to travel to another town to find one, or even move.

Working at the town shoe shop was hard work. What you made in the shop was probably shipped to other towns, or brought to your town store to sell. People did not directly rely on what you made because other shoe makers from other towns would ship their shoes into your town store, also. The shoe makers did not rely on the townspeople, because their jobs did not need to provide anyhthing for them. The shoe makers got their tools and supplies shipped from other towns or even Britain. Occasionaly, they would get the supplies other towns could not provide from the town store. Each shoe maker worked by themself. They didn't work with eachother because they had their own projects to do.

In the tin house you would work full time. You would get your supplies from Boston ( usually from the wholesalers). If Boston did not have the supplies you needed you would have to get your supplies shipped all the way from Britain. The townspeople relied on what the people at the tin house made because they would use the material in their houses. Tin pedalers also came by and townspeople would buy products from them. People who needed repair for their tin products would not come and fix them unless they were exspensive. In the shop you would have five or six people working with you.

The cooper had a very difficult job. The town cooper would make barrels. They would get their supplies from the people of the town, lumber stores, or they would even chop the wood down themself. People in the town would give the cooper wood sometimes, because they needed the money. The cooper worked by themself, unless they had a son who would occasionally work with them. Anything, he used to make the barrels that were made of iron could be repaired by the blacksmith. The blacksmith would provide the tools the cooper needed to him. People who needed to ship items would depend on the cooper for making the barrels.
