- But the itinerant tradesman or street-seller is still further distinguished from the regular fixed dealer—the stallkeeper from the shopkeeper—the street-wareman from the warehouseman, by the arts they respectively employ to attract custom.1851, Henry Mayhew, “Costermongers”, in London Labour and the London Poor:
- If a recount of an item is ordered, the warehouseman responsible for the custody of the stock accompanies and assists the rechecker to assure himself that the exact quantity of stock recorded as on hand is actually physically present.1940, War Department Technical Manual, volume 10, number 250, page 117:
