Shopkeeper's poor, or is he? (6)
I believe the answer is:
hosier
'shopkeeper's' is the definition.
(hosier is a kind of shopkeeper)
'poor or is he?' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'or'+'is'+'he'='orishe'
'orishe' anagrammed gives 'HOSIER'.
(Other definitions for hosier that I've seen before include "One sells socks and stockings" , "seller of 24 [NYLONS]" , "Seller of stockings etc" , "Manufacturer or seller of stockings" , "tight merchant" .)
