You have an interesting point regarding child labor and I guess in some very
sad circumstances your theory that even money that's made by using kids is
useful and can make life better for these very poor people, but $69 each
isn't cheap.
Personally I wouldn't buy a poorly made object at all and certainly not an
expensive, overpriced one.

Sorry Lucile i have not expressed myself well enough here , i meant
that people with not much momey , but who have many children, would
like to buy nice but cheap[er] costing things as well. In this letter
I am not commenting anything about children`s labour.
I did write about Children`s labour in former note.

I am not sure what you mean by My interestin g point regarding child
labour ...
As children we all worked as well as going to school.
Many societies and cultures require that the children do some part of
the Communal work, So turning our eyes and rolling our eyes to the sky
and say:" it isn`t ok and we won`t buy from factories who let children
work ,," , seems a bit hypocritical.
Globalization , takes many factories always to the cheaper working
force ,,,,, Westerners have less children ,,, Cheaper working hands
are to be found always ELSEWHERE. Your life standars , depends on
getting Your wished for manufactured things in a price you can afford
,,, Companies in your area can`t supply you with products in your
wanted price range With workers that are Well paid according to your
standards thus they moove to where they can get workers, who will
settle for Less money , worser standards of work ......That is the
Reality of World Economics ,,,, Am i happy about it ,,, No ! , but I
am also not Buying While Shading Aligator tears about the POOR
workers who make it . Nore do i raise my nose and say i don`t buy this
and that because The standard of the worker is so bad ..
Hundreds thousnads of people who from their homes to OTHER countries
just for Earning a bit MORE [and send money home], But not all can
travel , thus they stay in their places and take those wcheap jobs` .
producing things You and me and other will eventually buy ,,,,, and
somewhere some person will have a Bigger Bank account , Not you nore
the worker ,,,

Thanks for 'getting' my point. I had no idea this thread would erupt
into a discussion of child labor etc. I was just commenting on the
poor needlepoint and was surprised that it made it to market. I
wouldn't display those pillows if they GAVE 'em to me. There were
probably a hundred omissions in each piece.
