ARTICLE VIII. No license shall be required of: (a) Persons traveling only to study trade and its needs, even though they initiate commercial relations, provided they do not make sales of merchandise. (b) Persons operating through local agencies which pay the license fee or other imposts to which their business is subject. (c) Travelers who are exclusively buyers. 29479 S.
