White and Montgomery’s Philadelphia store opened on the north side of the Market Street wharf in 1772. They frequently advertised the spirits and sugars that they had for sale until the fall of 1776, when their partnership dissolved. Then, they had to issue a different type of advertisement, requesting that anyone who had “any demands against said partnership” should “furnish their accounts that they may be settled.” Charles White included a notice that he would continue selling “a quantity of MUSCOVADO SUGARS” as well as “JAMAICA SPIRITS, West-India and Philadelphia RUM, COFFEE, PEPPER, ALLSPICE, and INDIGO of the best quality” at his new store on Water Street.
