"Hawk Stand" source?

Great article on "Infomercial" — I'm a newbie and trying to find out who wrote it. The "History" shows the who and when for all of the edits, but I can't figure out who created the original page.

My question: is there a reference / source for the point about the "Hawk Stand" in Carny slang? Article says:

> Many state fairs have commerce tents in which sellers demonstrate their wares infomercial style. This setup is called a "Hawk Stand" in Carny lingo.

Thanks!
