It should be known that long prior to his famous ride, Paul Revere placed the following ad in the Boston Gazette in 1768:

Whereas many persons are so unfotunate as to lose their Fore-Teeth by Accident, and otherways, to their great Detriment, not only in Looks, but Speaking both in Public and Private: --This is to inform all such, that they may have them re-placed with false Ones, that look as well as the Natural, and Answers the End of Speaking to all Intents, by Paul Revere, Goldsmith, near the Head of Dr. Clarke's Wharf, Boston.

From
Presbrey, Frank.
