Probably one Of the best boot
and shoe makers west of Chicago is
Henry Weber, who has been in
business in this city several years,
and during that time has built up a
splendid reputation in his trade. He
strictly observes three rules--1st, to
give a perfect fit; I'd, to supply the
very best stock and Sd, to charge
the very lowest prices consistent with
the two previous rules. In addition
to his own manufacture, he keeps a
well-sclected assortment of ladies and
gentlemen's goods, which he almost
gives away. There is no telling to
what elevated position Wcbber's
business may yet lead him, and when
he gets there, we hope that, like
Grant, he'll remember his friends.
