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 hi
therto, 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.
