I ^VND THIS IS THE GENUINE REASON .: Acton merchants pay higher prices fcir produce, and sell goods at lower prices than in -<j>ther.places-. In advertising pur goods, iwe make no rash sta1;ements, and are determined to adhere to anything we state when we say our goods are cheaper than others, we know it to be a fact, The public assure us it is the tsase, and we"intend to stick to facts, and small profits.
