Street trading was at that time con-
fined to matches and penny toys.
Most Of those engaged in il were
really beggars.
Waiter Rumble had broader ideals.
He set up his first stall in Berwick
street, Soho, outside a chapel, hav-
ing obtained permission from the
minister.
Almost any household necessity
could be bought at his stall more
cheaply than in the shops. The stall
soon prospered and became the cen
ter of a busy mart.
Rumble's success was largely due
to his wit and personality. He was
famed as the best tale teller" in the
trade, even when he retired two
years ago.
Others followed in his trail; the
country initiated London; and thus
the tale telling" method Of selling
in Petticoat Lane ard elsewhere has
become famous.
