VOLUME XXXIX. SQUARE DEALERS. Keep Your Eye Bpen Tight! While We Whisper Truth in Your Bar This Morning. ro is a little Olothing sfg','i cor, Clark and Madison- gts. called BOSTON 8QUARE- DEALING STORE, where they cannot scll you goods at 10 per cont less than wholesale price (our city wholesale houses would feel flattered), and if we said we did no sensible man would helieve it ; twould be a downright lie, and we would not give ourselves away in so barefaced & manner; but it is an casily proved fact that our prices on 211 the goods we sell are the lowest in Chicago. And why shouldn’t they be? for we aro doing twice as much and more trade than any of these modest advertisers, and can afford to sell closer. Why, when they are in their beds we are still selling goods. Our ambition knows no limit, We will increase our business till we die; but there is only one way to increase it that we know of, and that is to tell the truth in the newspapers as well as in our store.
