Royal Gazette 1817 February 01

 
H. Van Cooten gives notice, that in future he will not pay for Goods bought upon his account, unless those delivered to his Order, or taken for him by his Son, Mr. L. Van Cooten, his Town Agent. - Demerary, February 1.

The Subscriber being extremely pressed for money, and wishing to close his accounts, requests all those who stand indebted to him, in open accounts, notes of hand, book debts, or otherwise, to come forward with payment within this month, as it will be impossible for him to extend his credit, particularly to those whose accounts remain unsettled for these two, three, and four years past. He therefore hopes they will not drive him to the unpleasant necessity of placing them in the hands of an attorney to recover. He hereby authorises Mr. Edward Hansler, to arrange and settle all accounts and out-standing debts that may be due for him.
Thomas Thompson.
He will sell the undermentioned articles of superior quality, for cash, at the following low prices:
Best old Port wine per dozen, f 36; ditto Madeira, 40; double brown stout, 9; claret, 22; best wine corks, at f 4 per groce; real hyson tea, at f 6 per lb.; very fine brown stout and wine vinegar, at three guilders per gallon, or per dozen, nine. And a variety of other articles at the most reduced prices. Feb. 1.
