Syllabus
<p>Where orders are given for goods sold in a State by an agent of a person employed to solicit them in another State, and the purchaser is not bound to pay for the goods until delivery and unless according to sample, the goods sent specifically to the customer in fulfillment of such orders are, until, actually delivered, within the protection of the commerce clause of the Constitution, and a municipal ordinance requiring a license fee for the solicitation of orders for delivering goods not of the parties’ own manufacture is void as an interference with interstate-commerce against such an agent.</p>
