The shop owner would stand before these audiences displaying his or her wares or they would pay someone to do this for them. One particular group in Mento would create these commercials for a fee. On tables outside the theater the patrons could purchase some items after the shows.

Gambling was also popular in Mento. Horse racing was done through the streets at least once each week. This was one of the many ways in which Mento provided entertainment.
