	&c just means 'etcetera' so I would take that to mean that his business included something else as well as being a tailor. Perhaps also a draper or haberdasher? Kate.

	Oh sorry, after his NAME. In that case, it will mean that he was in business with a partner or partners but they didn't put all their names down in the directory.
