* Creator/LordDunsany: The title character of the Smethers short stories is a salesman for Numnumo relish. He doesn't have much to say about the product itself or the lifestyle it affords him -- he's only noteworthy as TheWatson to his private investigator roommate -- but takes quiet pride in his ability to get into people's houses and land the sale. In "An Enemy of Scotland Yard", he even [[spoiler:talks his way into the paranoid murderer's hideout.]]

* The poem "[[https://www.scojec.org/news/2020/20iv_yiddish/yiddish_1.html The Trebbler's Tale]]" by David Bleiman is about the community of Jewish travelling salesmen in 1920s Scotland, written in what Bleiman imagines their lost Scots-Yiddish language might have sounded like ("trebbler", meaning "traveler", is one of the few words that's remembered, recorded in ''Two Worlds: An Edinburgh Jewish Childhood'' by David Daiches). There's a nod to the "lechreous" stereotype:

* In the short story [[https://d-infinity.net/fiction/man-who-sold-rope-gnoles "The Man Who Sold Rope to the Gnoles"]] by Margaret St. Clair, a traveling rope salesman visits the house of the gnoles; monstrous, carnivorous little creatures that everyone else avoids. His sales pitch actually goes very well, and the elder gnole places several orders. When he tries to pay with a huge emerald worth way more than the total, the protagonist looks around for something of lesser value, and grabs two gems that are the gnole's "extra set of eyes." This ends less than optimally.
-->But great are the virtues of legitimate commerce. Though they fattened Mortensen sedulously, and, later, roasted and sauced him and ate him with real appetite, the gnoles slaughtered him in quite a humane manner and never once thought of torturing him. That is unusual, for gnoles. And they ornamented the plank on which they served him with a beautiful border of fancy knotwork made out of cotton cord from his own sample case.
