HOUSE CANVASS
Lightning Rod Salesman And
Book Agent Give Way To
Booze Agent
BY EDWARD M. THIERRY.

NEW YORK, Sept. /. - The
cycle of door-to-door canvassing has
Topped again. The lightning rod
salesman and the book agent have
given way to the bootlegger's agent.
Politely, with winning smile, he
walked into an office in d downtown
building and said in loud, clear tones
''Can interest any of you gentle
men in some gin, wine, brandy on
whisky-eitber Scotch or rye, of
course.
Whisking out pad and pencil he
stood poised, ready to write down or
deTs with all the aplomb of head
waiter.
The wheels of industry stopped
abruptly; worker with weak heart
gasped,
Great godfather, mani we said.
You're running chances, aren't you,
soliciting trade from strangers"
Not at all" said the bootlegger's
agent, wiping beads Of toll off his
forehead. Il have been advised that
lam quite within the law | merely
take orders, you know. have no
liquor on me not even on my
breath"
He smiled cordially, and went on:
May l have your order, sir? Rye
is $40 quart, cognac $3.50, gin
$50. so a case or three bottles for $40.
Sorry, but can only sell Scotch by
the case-$110-or a quarter case
for $50. Nothing less than three
bottles"
Fingers itching to write down or
ders, he explained that somebody
else would deliver the goods-on APP
prevail.
Sample it, and if you don't like it
don't pay" he said persuasively.
lie worked office buildings daily,
he said, and he had many lawyer
customers who assured BIN his
bread-winning methods were safe.
Come on now, won't you gentle
men take a half case anyway" he
wheedled. Business isn't so good
today; started at the top of this
22-story building, and here I've work
ed down to the third floor and I've
only sold a half case Come on,
gents, buy half case--so'I can get
out to lunchw
Browning like discouraged book
agent, he put away his pad and pen
ell and left in a huff.
