F The Fair Pricing of Darlington Silks Recently a customer told us, "This in the fourth stove I have been in this morning, and your price for this silk is Joe a yard less than anywhere else."

We have 82 years of experience back of us in belling Silks to I'hiladel pliiuns, and we have learned to know what they want. Wc have a thoroughly trained force of silk salespeople who can be of real assistance in making selection if such as sistance is debired. Wo have our Silks marked at fair prices, which in many in stances arc LOWEK THAN ELSE WHERE. If you have never bought Silks here, prove to yourself how advantageously and satisfactorily it can be done.
