FOR three generations the gift from Darlington's
has been doubly appreciated because our name
is synonymous with worthy merchandise. We have
a pleasant place in which te shop cheerful, well
lighted, spacious; empleyes ready and able te serve
you well. Recent changes have given us better op
portunities than ever before for improved display
in certain wares.
A New Tey and Juvenile Gift Section
Has Been .Opened en the Second Fleer
Larger and mere varied stocks of this character will
be available than we have had in the past.
ARLINGTON'S sell only FINE
5ttP Gloves. Season after season
hundreds of these who give
Gloves, select them here. A list of
such customers would be a veritabh
BlueBoek of Philadelphia's most dis
criminating and best-known people.
We handle Men's, Women's and Chil
dren's Gleve3 in fabric, wool and the
various leathers. The best grades of
Trefeusse Gloves, these made te spe
cial order of the finest skins and super
ior workmanship are sold by us
exclusively in this city. These are
stamped C9 meaning client Ne. 9,
which ie our mark at the Trefeusse
factory in France.
'Dr'HE list of Novelties is almost end
&l less baskets, glassware, leather
goods, pictures, candlesticks,
jewelry, fans one cannot name them
all. Seme of these things can be dup
licated as s6ld out, but ethers cannot,
se the early "gift buyer will get best
selection.
jff N Handkerchiefs, many a larger
J) store would be glad te de as much
business. The completeness of
the stock and the wide range of prices
make Handkerchief buying at 1 1 26
1 1 28 Chestnut Street very satisfac
tory. Fer some time we have been
booking several hundred dollars'
worth daily of Handkerchiefs te be
embroidered. Our facilities for doing
this are unexcelled, but we shall seen
be compelled te refuse further orders
for delivery before December 25th.
ILK Hosiery is another line in
which we rank high because the
Stockings we sell have proven
se uniformly geed. There is plenty
of "bargain" Hosiery these days, but
none tee much of the better grades.
Sweaters, Scarfs, Umbrellas can also
be chosen te the best advantage here.
NECKWEAR, Linens, Sewing Novelties, Lingerie,
t" Negligees, Infants' Goods, Furs, Blouses, Fur
niture are all well worthy of detailed mention but
space forbids. The purpose of this announcement
is te direct attention in a general way te the fact
that a great part of yeuxv Christmas shopping can
be most comfortably, satisfactorily and economically
done at Darlington's, and that tomorrow will be
a. geed time te start.
On request we shall be glad te pub purchases for the remainder of this month en
the December bill, payable in January. New charge accounts can be arranged for by
responsible people through our Credit Department.
