A False Statement.
The advertisement of a Streator firm that
appeared iu our paper last week in regard
to getting the contract of carpeting the new
I hotel over Ottawa merchants. Scott Bros. &
Co., our large carpet dealers, say that it is
not true, as they or no other firm in Ottawa
figured on the job.
Scott Bros, & Co. also say that if au op
portunity had been given them the contract
of furnishing this hotel would never have
been given to a Strcator firm, unless they
were favored by being stockholders, for it is
a well-known fact that Scott Bros. & Co. arc
the largest dealers in carpets in this section
of the elate and are prepared to furnish ho
tels or private houses with carpeting nt
wholesale prices. KtpuLUcun.
