[from A.M Harrision's Descriptive List of Insular Societies]
A Trade Union for operative tailors. Secretary John Stout, Onchan. The caption to his portrait on p.30 of the Examiner Annual of 1902 is as follows.
'Serving his apprenticeship to the tailoring in Laxey, Mr. Stout came to Douglas about eighteen years ago, and shortly afterwards was appointed as Secretary to the Douglas Tailors' Society, now one of the strongest labour societies on the Island. Mr. Stout is also a member of the Douglas Trades and Labour Council, and for some time acted as President. His keen foresight and practical business ability have won for him the unanimous respect and esteem of Douglas workers.'
