Our town is a relatively small one with a population of around 100,000 so there is not a geographical imperative to move to daughter works yet. We are pretty much no more than 20 minutes from anywhere in our town.
I am sure that once we fill up the additional space we will be adding later this year we very well may move to opening daughter works. We are developing men in the ministry who could take that mission on.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
