[They still did during my collecting days.] An' dey said dat dey would take dose bows an' tie it into a knot an' dey would keep it. An' evah time dat chew feel dat yuh wanta be weanin' off, dat dey would renew it ovah, dat dey had somepin dey would fix it wit an' dat dey'd always double dat knot ag'in. Evah time it seem dat yuh pull- in' away, dey double dat knot ag'in. An' dey had a way dat dey wear it intuh dere shoes.
