It takes me about four months to complete the whole circuit. Then I start all over again. This way I get around to my customers three times a year. The reason I don't bother with lunch is because I found out that it takes me almost exactly nine hours to cover one street, and if I stop to eat it throws my schedule off. I do stop for a glass of water several nines during the day.
People are real nice about that.
Wirth starts each day with two large shopping bags filled to the brim with the six items he sells - dishrags, wash cloths, pot scrapers, large red handkerchiefs, two sizes of ladies hankies and black, brown and white shoelaces. My feet never bother me. I guess once you get used to walking a lot your feet get tough. It varies how much I sell each day. There is a great art to selling.
