And let us not forget W.T. Grant's, Decelle's, Conrad Chandler's, and 
Montgomery Ward's-- all of which were big print advertisers till they 
went belly-up...

Going ever on:

Caldors
Ames (were Zayres, already mentioned)
Fretter
Nobody Beats the Wiz (ever so brief)
Grossman's (most only know their bargain outlet)
Ann & Hopes
Home Quarters
Somerville Lumber (big advertiser here)
P.F. O'Connors (big advertiser in the 1990 recession, and first victim)
Woolworth's, lest we forget (newspaper ads)

Of course many older people on the North Shore miss:  Almy's, Rich's (whose loss is probably a contributor to the decline of North Shore papers)
