Itinerant Merchants Fined At Sheldon For Violating Ordinances
The Sheldon authorities fined itinerant merchant V. T. Piak and partners Swartz and Gormley 81.30 for violating local itinerant merchant rules. Piak, a wealthy Tyndall resident, shipped old goods to Emmetburg and Sheldon to sell. An earlier attempt to close his Sheldon store failed as he vowed to relocate permanently and press on in business. Authorities say the merchants advertised in ways that prompted enforcement action. City solicitor Diamond prosecuted, with Mayor Piper delivering the sentence to the full extent of the law.
