Public Advertiser, 22 Aug.: Whereas the partnership between Mess Shuter
and Yates has been dissolved;
and as Mr Shuter intends to carry on the Business in a more extensive
manner than has been performed hitherto, he is now at a great Expence erecting a Repository in an entirely new Taste, in the George Inn Yard...prfviding new, nice,
and different Assortments of Theatrical Wares, such as Wit, Humour, Incidents, American Interludes, black
and white, Duets
and Dances, of which the Public will be informed by Catalogue of the whole Stock, which will be delivered Gratis to his Friends
and Customers...He flatters himself that no Person will serve them better or cheaper, for ready Money only,
and all purchases of Five Pounds worth or upwards, shall be allowed 5 per cent of Discount. That the Publick may not mistake the Shop, over the Door way will be my Picture without a Frame, very indifferently painted, with this Motto beneath it, Shuter.
Daily Advertiser, 3 Sept.: On the Great Parade after the Fair is proclaim'd, the Bold Shuter will review his Troop;
and the Publick are requested to observe that the full Figure at the Middle of the Platform is the Chief...or Sachem of the Five Nations. He will be attended with Mamamawks, Papapawks,
and Tomahawks...The Lords may laugh, the Ladies may laugh,
and the Commoners may laugh...
and that will make me laugh.
