Biography:
These "drummers" don't actually appear in the novel, but we know they exist because the "old man" who picks them up in his taxi when they come to town on the train apparently tells them all the epigram that he has come up with to tell the story of his life (297). In Faulkner's time (and in his world), a "drummer" is a traveling salesman.
