surrounded by salesmen

In New York you'll still find door to door salesmen. Actually they go store to store, because it's hard to get folks to open up their homes to strangers.

The group near me on this train are typical of this new breed of NYC salesmen. They are in their early 20's, fresh faced and pulling luggage carts filled with BBQ sets, Forever Flashlights, Art Kits for Kids and other items which run from 5 to 20 bucks.

The ringleader of this group is sharing his vast experience with his troup of merry men. He is all of 23.

Today's big item is giant coloring and story books.

Let the buyer beware
