According to Mau, the election notice found on the outside wall

Postumium  Proculum  aed.  Offectores  rog(ant)   [CIL IV 864]

(The Dyers request the election of Postumius Proculus as aedile)

may have indicated that the Dyers of the two establishments opposite each other, IX.3.2 and VII.2.11, had united in supporting the candidacy of Proculus.
