I can see why you have a problem - the ink in the original is really splodgy!
My first thought was "Labourer", but there's no tall letter in the middle. "Vegetable Salesman" on the line below does have a tall letter where the b needs to be. On the other hand... "Tailor's Cutter"* on the line above has a very similarly-shaped initial letter for "Cutter"... Could your man have been a "Carman"? (*I should admit that my interpretation is open to doubt, given that that, too, is a splodgy-ink entry!)
Now for the address...
The easy bit is: 15 SPLODGE Road
After that, I think you'll have to go hunting for other letters written in the same hand to see what could make sense.

I agree that there's a step between them, but not an enormous one.
