There are very few stores in the United States who can point to so long a record of steadily continued, honorable success and growth; holding the confidence of its clientele from generation to generation; keeping pace with changing conditions; watching fashions rise and wane, but having ready always for its patrons the best of merchandise and giving thoughtful, satisfactory service. In 1837, when Martin Van Buren was President of the United States and Philadelphia was just, beginning to establish herself firmly as a great manufacturing and distributing center, this store was started at Second and Callowhill Streets at that time the city's leading shopping district. Here for many years the business was carried on. In 1874 a move was made to 1022 Chestnut Street, and in 1878 to our present location. Always Darlington's has been known as a dependable store selling goods of real merit, fairly and conservatively priced. Our slogan, "Chestnut Street's Best Place to Shop," is no empty boast. As to the Anniversary Sale, our plans for celebrating the event have been made along much broader lines than ever before; we have more special lots ready; can offer greater savings.
