He explained that several who wanted to work at this as a part- time job had difficulty in doing so since their regular jobs encompassed these hours. He said also there were those regular customers of Fuller Brush who were not at home during those hours and it made it difficult for them to do business with Fuller Brush. He asked for a modification of the law for his company.

Mr. Rogers said he personally would be opposed to changing the ordinance.
