SYRACUSE, INDIANA, Thursday 7 March 1957

Solicitors Must Have Official Permission Since the February Chamber of Commerce meeting, at which there was discussion of solicitors who had been in town in recent weeks, Rev. Robert Janney, Chamber president, has stated that residents and businessmen should always ask to see any solicitor’s letter of recommendation from the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce. Seldom is such a letter given and then only to very worthy causes, he added. Town police officer Don Enyeart has successfully intercepted several solicitors coming into town recently. Calling the police or referring peddlers to the Chamber of Commerce, usually is sufficient to send nuisance solicitors and fakers on their way, Janney said. In October 1948 a town ordinance relating to peddlers and solicitors became effective. This ordinance is reprinted on page four of this issue of the Journal.
