The Traveling Salesman is a comedic play written by James Forbes and published in 1908. The story follows the misadventures of a traveling salesman named Teddy Tucker, who finds himself in a series of humorous situations while trying to sell a new brand of soap. Along the way, he meets a cast of eccentric characters, including a flirtatious hotel clerk, a bumbling bellboy, and a wealthy widow with a penchant for romance. The play is divided into four acts, each of which takes place in a different location as Teddy travels across the country. Despite the lighthearted tone, the play also touches on themes of love, loyalty, and the importance of human connection. Overall, The Traveling Salesman is a charming and entertaining work of early 20th-century American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
