    not want any of these articles they could give them money, or eggs, or bread. About twenty years ago they would be satisfied with meal or potatoes and then when the land would be uncomfortably heavy, they would sell the contents.
    Other travelling people make tins and saucepans and sell them.
    The travelling people that come round the oftenest are Coffey's, Spoaneys, Sullivan's, and Cronans. They generally bring some good story of the place or people they visited, and what they saw, and they sometimes tell about your friends so as to entice you to give them something better than usual.
