PLYMOUTH – At one time, a knock at the front door often meant someone was selling something. Salesmen and ladies went door to door selling everything from brushes and vacuum cleaners to cosmetics and Bibles.
That sales style fell out of vogue some time ago, and now a knock on the door usually means someone is there with an unsolicited offer to sell something.
That scenario may soon be a thing of the past altogether in Plymouth. The Select Board is considering an outright ban of door-to-door sales because of the annoyance it causes.
“I have a solar company at my house at least once a week,” said board member Betty Cavacco during a recent hearing. “I also get phone calls from the elderly or others who are not used to it, asking who these people are. I do support this.”
