I have A?E?E?L?R, probably ALE ?. Perhaps DEALER, PEDLAR or SELLER, but I can't find any in a dictionary.

OED (Online) shows a reference to 'ale-seller' (under the entry for 'ale'), but no sign of 'ale-dealer' or ' ale- pedlar'. All the entry shows is - "...with agent or verbal nouns, as ale brewer [earliest attested as a surname] , ale drinker, alemonger [earliest attested as a surname], ale seller, ale selling, etc."
