I think the first one says 'traveller commercial? waters'.   The other possibly ' carman, wine stores'

Yes, he was a mineral water agent in 1891.  So do you think it's a similar occupation?

I think it says Traveller Mineral Waters. I think that the character that looks like an 'O' to the left of the heavy vertical line is actually a flourish at the beginning of the letter 'M' of mineral.

Thank you so much.
I thought it was Traveller ? waters but wasn't sure.
The heavy vertical line was making it very difficult for me to transcribe.
