Summary:	"Filled with fascinating stories of Nova Scotia's history in the door-to-door trade, The Peddlers is a tribute to the men and women of a bygone era in merchandising, the likes of which will never be seen again. It tells of several immigrants who started as peddlers and built successful business--including Herman Rofihe, who established a quality men's wear store that served three generations; Mike and Georgie Mansour, David Epstein, Jack Yazer, Moses Spinner, the Manzer Brothers, and others. And Nova Scotians played leading rolls in the North American door-to-door sales profession in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It starts with the life of Nova Scotia-born Alfred C. Fuller, the Fuller Brush Man, and Yarmouth County's Frank Stanley Beveridge, who co-founded the highly successful Stanley Home Products company. The Peddlers takes you on a door-to-door tour of the origins of household brands like Minard's and Sloan's Liniment, JR Watkins, and Rawleigh Products, Fraser's Liniment, Gates Little Gem Pills, Buckley's Cough Syrups, Muskol, and other medicinal enterprises founded by peddlers, many of them Nova Scotians. It also chronicles a century-old Hants County murder case involving two young peddlers--one the victim, the other the perpetrator."--
