<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 11487540, member: 36&quot;]The subject came up in a Bible study I was in.&nbsp; The author of a book said that the treasures in a story were the gold and silver and that clothing was tossed in as an afterthought.&nbsp; He forgot how much WORK went into making a single article of clothing when even the threads had to be made by hand.&nbsp; The &quot;ten changes of clothes&quot; were listed first because they were crazy money.&nbsp; Textiles and later books were mentioned in wills because they were often the most valuable things in a household, especially when all books were written out longhand.&nbsp; That was true right into the 19th century.&nbsp; Now we have fast fashion and print on demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
