"Students at Harvard are very appreciative of The Square Deal," he says.

Anthony adds that he's made some good friends on the job and that he receives a lot of encouragement and pats on the back from the people he sees on a daily basis. "They're nice to me," he says simply.

According to Anthony's boss, The Square Deal Publisher Martin Applebaum, they have every reason to be. "David's the genuine article," Applebaum says. "He's a very sensitive guy and I love him very dearly."

With Applebaum's support, Anthony hopes to expand the scope of The Square Deal's business far beyond Cambridge. "I really plan on working so hard with the clientele, not just here in Harvard Square but also in Boston and throughout New England," he says.

This vision so inspires Anthony, in fact, that he is often moved to verse. Anthony is an amateur poet, and says that he often draws on his experiences in sales when he writes. "I'd like to write something for everyone I've ever met in Harvard Square, and it might have something to do with The Square Deal," he says.

Anthony is very serious about doing his job, and doing it right--not even sub-zero weather can turn him from his goal of saving money for the peoples of the greater Cambridge area.

"When it comes to passing someone a coupon for a free coffee early in the morning, I love the cold," he says.

In the end, Anthony has one message for those whose lives he touches: "Keep looking for that Square Deal because David Anthony will be one that will always be in Harvard Square for you. And it won't matter if it's zero degrees or 90 degrees--I'll be there."
