In Boston, at Mr. Caleb Davis's Shop near the Fortification,
Mr. Thomas Chase near Liberty-Tree, Mr. Andrew Gillespie,
Tobacconist, in Fore-Street, Mr. John Bois's House in
Long-Lane, and at Edes & Gill's Printing-Office in
Queen-Street.----At Mr. Ellson's Master of the Workhouse in
Salem; at Mr. Williams's Master of the Workhouse in
Marblehead, to each of whom we have been already much
oblig'd.----At Mr. Bulkeley Emerson Stationer in Newbury-Port,
and at Mr. Daniel Fowle's, Printer in Portsmouth.----If any
Person will favor us in this Way, who live near Winnisimet-Ferry,
or in Black Horse Lane in Boston, or in the Center of the Town
of Charlestown, they are desir'd to send their Names to Edes
and Gill's Printing-Office.----As large Quantities of Paper
fortunately arriv'd from Europe before the Duties could be
demanded, it is hoped before that can be consum'd, there will
be sufficient of this Country Manufacture for future Use.

_THE_ PRINTERS _of this Paper beg Leave to Advertise their
Customers, that they have lately purchas'd a new Set of_
TYPES, _at a very great_ Expence, _which will be improved for
the Entertainment and Instruction of the Public. They only
desire that those Gentlemen who are in Arrears_ for more than
a Twelvemonth, _wou'd be kind enough for their Encouragement
to pay off their respective Balances, as soon as may be, in
Cash, or good clean Linnen Rags, the latter of which they
prefer._
*** Choice WRITING PAPER, manufactured at Milton, to be Sold
by the Printers hereof.

As Mr. Turner, the dancing-master, had "suffered much by booking," we
infer that some people had "danced without paying the fiddler."
_DANCING ACADEMY,_
CONCERT-HALL.
MR. TURNER informs the Ladies and Gentlemen in town and
country, that he has reduced his price for teaching, from _Six
Dollars_ entrance to _One Guinea_, and from _Four Dollars_ per
month to _Three_. Those Ladies and Gentlemen who propose
sending their children to be taught, will notice, that no
books will be kept, as Mr. T. has suffered much by booking.
The pupils must pay monthly, if they are desirous the School
should continue.
_Boston, March 29, 1788._
