his will, written in 1760, Daniel Butler of Bromham
Wilts gave his occupation as a stay-maker. Was he employed
full-time making the stays to hold a bell in the mouth-upward position, or could
he be making female undergarments! Or, is there a third meaning to the word STAY
that Daniel could have been engaged in making in rural Wiltshire in
the 18th century? Any suggestion will be most welcome,
thanks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
