The doors were opened at 6.30 in the summer months and 7 o'clock in winter. Closing time was 6 P. M. Most stores kept open late on Saturday nights, but this we never did. Our customers drove 'up in carriages, hoop-skirt garbed, as the illustration above shows, and the morning hours were the busy ones Instead of the afternoon as now. To ask to have goods returned or ex changed was a most unusual thing. In this particular, merchants would be glad to revert to the customs of long ago. Bills were sent out twice a year, not monthly. One of the first jobs which Mr. Edwin Shock who has been in the employ of Joseph G. Darlington & Co. for 64 years and is still one of our most valued workers had to do, was to take out a number of semi-annual statements on a very snowy New Year's Day, and deliver them. To send a bill by mail was not considered good busi ness ethics. Wc have several charge accounts active today which were opened by the grandparents of the present purchasers. Changes in personnel, name and location have occurred in the 83 years which this store has been before the Philadelphia shopping public, but there has never been any change in the foundation principles. We started out in 1837 to sell high-grade, dependable mer chandise at fair prices and have never devi ated from that platform. Darlington's is known as a "quality store," but that a "qual ity store" can also be an "economy store" i3 well proven by the remarkable money-saving opportunities presented in this Anniversary Sale now in progress.
