deaths In this city from Influenza. The
epidemic, when at Its heizht, was the
worst In this city's history.
There were three deaths from the dis

of physicians, there is no indication of
a return of tin epidemic.
Director Kruscn, of the Department
of Ilcalth and Charities, declared today
that in no part of the country is in

The Character of Darlington Service
Service may mean much or little, according to the interpreta
tion placed upon it by the store that is rendering it.
Service, as the Darlington Store extends it, includes far more
than supplying your want3 and delivering the goods purchased.
It is an ever-watchful policy protecting your wishes, anticipating
your wants, visualizing for you the market places of the world.
The fact that this Store sells a particular line of merchandise
may be taken as prima facie evidence of the merit of those goods,
for the Darlington standard permits no deviation from the high
quality which it demands. This is service.
The price moderation which prevails throughout every de
partment is not due to the bargain instinct, but results from
careful buying, avoiding undesirable and slow-moving stocks.
DARLINGTON PRICES ARE ALWAYS AS LOW OR LOWER
THAN ELSEWHERE FOR GOODS OF THE SAME QUALITY.
This also is service.
Equally important, particularly as the gift season approaches,
is the fact that there are shown here many novelties not to be
found in any other Philadelphia store, especially the direct im
portations from our Paris commissionaire. This, too, is service.
And by no means least there 13 personal service. Our workers
are not infallible, and mistakes will occur now and then, but from
the doorman, who has welcomed Darlington customers for many
years, throughout our sales force and in all the various non-selling
sections our employes are unsurpassed for courtesy, character,
intelligence, loyalty and honesty. Only a store with such employes
can give real service.
