What exactly did a grey cloth salesman do? Yes, I know sell cloth, but why grey? I have tried to find an explanation but haven't. Was it cloth sold to a textile company before it was dyed? Or was it sold to the dying company to be dyed? Was it a certain type of cloth? Would the saleman have made a good living from it?
Only asking as it came up as an occupation on a census I was looking at.
