During the morning she had seen several people and quite a number (comparatively) of tradesmen’s vans.
1932, Dorothy L. Sayers, chapter II, in Have His Carcase
After this memorable event, I went to the hatter's, and the bootmaker's, and the hosier's, and felt rather like Mother Hubbard's dog whose outfit required the services of so many trades. […] It was not necessary to explain everywhere that I had come into a handsome property; but whenever I said anything to that effect, it followed that the officiating tradesman ceased to have his attention diverted through the window by the High-street, and concentrated his mind upon me.
1861, Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
