Hiertoe behoorden de uitslijters van kaas in het klein, de verkopers van erwten, bonen, gort, meel enz. bij de kleine maat, de vettewariers of commenijhouders en de kaarsenmakers. In de 18de eeuw werd het bestuur van het gilde gevormd door één overman uit de kaarsenmakers, één uit de graankopers en één uit de vettewariers. Alleen de kaarsenmakers hadden een proef af te leggen. Zij, die deze waren wilden verkopen, behoefden geen poorter te zijn, doch moesten een klein inkomgeld betalen en een gulden per jaar aan de bos. De kaarsenmakers daarentegen moesten fl. 25 gildegeld betalen en een leertijd van drie jaar doorlopen. (...). Tot 1721 had het gilde een kamer boven de Vleeshal in de Nes. In dit jaar werd een gildehuis in het Klooster in gebruik genomen, dat in 1792 werd verkocht. Er werd toen een huis in de Kerkstraat aangekocht, dat tot 1822 in het bezit van het gilde bleef." (quoted from the website of the Stadsarchief Amsterdam). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXV.
