The Raleigh man mentioned on June 1 was most likely a traveling salesman for the W. T. Rawleigh Co. which is still in business selling various patent medicines and household products. A short history is posted at http://www.rawleigh.com.au/content/history.htm. According to my wife, when we cleaned out my mother's kitchen in Halifax in 1985 she was some Rawleigh cooking extracts. You may have to search using Raleigh Traveling Salesman but there are a couple accounts posted by people whose fathers worked for the company.
