Such activities may include, but are not limited to, distribution of handbills or leaflets to the public directly or by placing them in a mailbox, on a doorknob or otherwise on any property; coming personally onto any property for the purposes defined herein; calling the occupants of any property by telephone for the purposes herein defined; or calling or inviting any prospective customers to purchase or obtain merchandise, product or service.
SOLICITOR. A person soliciting commercial orders for goods or services which are to be provided or shipped to the consumer at a later date.

(Prior Code, § 3-3-1)
(A) Individual license. Any itinerant vendor, solicitor or peddler shall obtain a license from the town prior to any soliciting in the town, unless exempted herein, to cover each person who will be soliciting and each location or separate place of business.
(B) Blanket license or letter of agreement.
(1) Owners or lessees of buildings in which itinerant vendors operate or locate must obtain a blanket license covering all itinerant vendors who will be established in the building controlled by the owner or lessee.
(2) Governmental agencies owning public buildings may arrange a letter of agreement with the town in lieu of a license if licensing is contrary to the regulations governing the governmental agency. In such a case, the letter of agreement will provide for the same requirements as are shown in this chapter and will provide that the town receive one-half the rental fee paid by the itinerant vendor until the town’s receipts equal the amount required for a blanket license fee.
(Prior Code, § 3-3-2)
