Do you have information about a children's story about three taylors, each named Taylor?

The story goes: There were three taylors, each named Taylor. One did the measuring one did the cutting and one did the sewing. The sign in front of their shop read "Taylor, Taylor %26amp; Taylor." At some point a customer asks them whose name is first on the sign and they get into a huge argument. They decide to figure out which one is most important to the process so each one doesn't come to work for a day. As you can imagine, when the measurer doesn't show up everything turns out disproportionate, when the cutter doesn't show up the other two can't cut the cloth right and everything turns out messed up and when the sewer doesn't show up the same thing happens. They learn that each one is an integral part of the process and decide that it doesn't matter whose name is first on the sign because they are all equaly important. If this sounds familiar, I need some publishing information.

It is "Where Were You When the Bell Rang? %26amp; The Three Tailors" by William D. Hayes. It looks like it's two books in one.





Book Description: Macmillan, New York, 1967. Soft Cover.





Every year, the King had a Good Deeds Day. He gives a bag of gold to the person who has done the greatest deed . . . until one year, everything turns upside-down.





Three brothers named Taylor are the best tailors in the world . . . until one day a question of whose name comes first on their sign begins a hilarious feud to see which brother contributes the most in the business.





Here are several for sale: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchRe...

Reply:Where Were You When the Bell Rang? And The Three Tailors (A Readingtime Book) by William D Hayes


or The Three Poor Tailors by Victor G Ambrus. These are both out of print so I could not get plot synopses on them. If neither of these ring a bell, edit your question and I will continue looking. The latter I know is a Hungarian Folk Tale and includes a trip they make into town on a donkey. Both of these are listed for sale on amazon.com (used copies available, but still no plot info on them).


Hope this helps!
