PEDDLER

Peddler

A peddler, in British English pedlar, also known as a canvasser, cheapjack, monger, higler or solicitor, is a travelling vendor of goods. In England, the term was mostly used for travellers hawking goods in the countryside to small towns and villages; they might also be called tinkers or gypsies. In London more specific terms were used, such as costermonger. There has long been a suspicion of dishonest or petty criminal activity associated with pedlars and travellers.
