Lleiiee took the saleentan to the

by Mayor J. , E. linekins, It was
discovered that he had no transient
trader's license. The Salesman got
in touch with his London office and
the license fee of $50 was ultimately
paid by the firtn's manager who
mine to Goderieh for that purpose.
Referring to the incident at Fri-
day night's council meeting, Mayor
iluckins said he had been told that
one London salesman had sold as
many as 100 vacuuut cleaners in
Goderlch.
"They say it's one- of the, beat

"Some people hesitate to phone

said Couneiller Penuington. "I
suggest they phone the Town

"It is certainly, a matter qf e011 -

The matter was referred to the
