This series contains peddlers' licenses issued by the Secretary of State's Office, later Department of State; register entries tracking the issuance of peddlers' licenses; and some applications (dating 1949-1956 only) submitted in order to obtain licenses. The records were created pursuant to an amendment to the Revised Statutes, Part I, Chapter 17, Title 4 (passed March 23, 1840), which required peddlers to obtain licenses to sell any goods manufactured in foreign countries.
