From the above 1t will be seen that a
peddler is defined as one who carries n
pack, drives wagon or in any her way
carries goods from which such merchau-
disc is retailed.
A pack peddler has % pay $50 license,
and for wagon with one or two horses,
300, and $50 for each additional horse,
1t requires $50 additional to allow the
peddling of clocks, watches, coffees or
teas. Licenses are to be numbered In
order and exposed on pack or vehicle.
Peddlers must exhibit licenses when
asked. Bonds In $500 must be furnished.
The fine for q violation is 500, the in.
former to get one half No license Is
required for peddling goods grown or
manufactured in the State. Fish and
oysters are exempt. Wholesalers can
sell goods to stores. Drugs and medi-
cines cannot be peddled under any con.
dltlons.
The question undecided, and which is
still debated, 10 this Can a merchant
take orders at customers house and fll
1t from his store without taking out
Deddler's license?
