CANVASSERS
“Not a Hawker” mentions two suggestions which he made on a previous occasion in reference to house-to-house canvassers for orders. These are: (1) All house-to-house canvassers should be registered or licensed; and (2) every registered canvasser should be paid a minimum daily retaining fee, together with out-of-pocket expenses. The correspondent urges that the public is entitled to the protection of some such security as official recognition of a canvasser in some way, which may be best and most easily gained by issuing an official badge from some recognised body or by some authorised person, to those who qualify for registration. The writer concludes: “I hope someone else with a view to putting canvassing in all its forms on a better footing thaif it is at present, so that a householder may know that a canvasser calls by right to do a service and so that canvasser may walk with head erect performing a service which is looked for.”
