    They wear all kinds of jewellery and head handkerchiefs. Some of them are very wealthy.
    Pedlars get their produce in markets and sales where they are got cheaply. They then sell them at a big profit.
    There is a profit pedlar who goes around here by the name of Dolly Gray. this is not his real name. He had a horse by the name of Dolly. This horse was grey so his owner got the name of Dolly Gray. Pedlars are very useful to people who live far away from any town.
