Re: Anniicita
Well it was something like a sausage. One old chap once told me that he was selling 12 herrings for a shilling. He must have wanted a quick sale they was not room for a freezer in his basket on a bicycle.

Re: Corbin
Corbin I actually remember taking a jug to a shop and no it was not a hog pudding but I came away with a hot jugful of faggots and peas.

Re: Great picture of an insurance salesman. I remember some of them
They were very persuasive Pat. Liked to get the woman on her own but as you say the spare cash sometimes would not stretch into the future.

Re:sassyass 64
Well funny enough the same sort of thing happened at my Brothers house.
The sister-in-law agreed to a demonstration. Much to the surprise of the salesman he could not show a dirt sample and had to admit defeat.

Re: Corbin
Like the man who said to the woman who asked why he was snubbing her. 'I'm not snubbing you ,' he said and shut the door in her face.

Re: Kabu
One has to weigh up the rewards. I can't see them being exessive , but I do like public liability and fire insurance . Be lucky

Door to door sales used to be a really big deal
Commision jobs are a scary career. I remember back in the 70s when vacuum salemen would come to our house, toting a Kirby vacuum and a case full of attachments. Their sales pitched followed by a cleaning demonstration showed how filthy a mattress and carpet could be. It was the main selling point for the $1,200 beast of an appliance that led to shocked consumer's to sign the life long contract.

Great picture of an insurance salesman. I remember some of them
paying house calls and laying guilt trips about who's to take care of the children if you shirk your duty... But practicality won out (??) 99% of the time. Any spare pennies didn't go for insurance premiums but for the occasional trip to buy a root beer on a hot summer evening.
