World’s Softest Spot for Pitchmen Found in New York
Arthur Chapman argues in Elks magazine that the financial district of New York is the world’s softest spot for high pressure door to door sellers. He notes that between 4 and 6 pm on Nassau Street and Park Row, pitchmen hawk items from health booklets to novelty goods, drawing a steady stream of Wall Street workers despite police shifts. The trend emphasizes health related products and exercise guidance over patent medicines, reflecting a shift in sales focus.
