1767-Feb.-14: The Brodel sisters, residing near the church in Cap-Français, expanded their business by bringing a specialized seamstress directly from Paris. They offered dressmaking services in the latest metropolitan styles and announced they were seeking apprentices to learn these fashionable techniques.
