'wr there are many stores, lnrge and small, in this city which have run 50 years,
60 years and some even longer. Joseph G. Darlington & Co. is the oldest, how
ever, as it was founded in 1837. We started nt Second nnd Callowhill Streets, but
have been on Chestnut Street since 1874.
"84" Day in the 84t,J &ntttberarp Sale
For Thursday some extraordinary values will be ready and we have made

Why Women Want the
Laun - Dry - Ette
Any electric washing machine is a
' food investment nearly all of them
do good washing.
But the Laun-Dry-Ette has revolu
tionized wash day. It washes beauti
fully as every good housekeeper ants
her clothes washed evcr thing from
their Georgettes and fine linens to
heavy blankets and comforts. But,
more than that, it has abolished much
of the hard work of wash day, it
Dries the clothes
without a wringer
It has abolished the wringer. It dric:
the wash atubfull at a time for the
line in one minute, without a wringer.
The clothes arc left in the tub, the
tub is raised above the water line by
means of pressure on a pedal
then, you turn a small handle, and,
presto I in one minute the wash is
whirled dry for the line wringer dry'
vithout a wringer.
No buttons smashed
Bluing ind rinsing arc done in the
nsual thorough, sanitary way. ou
don't skip any of the basic principles
of good washing you skip all the hard
Tvork. Only one tub is needed, and
the clothes come out of the dryer easier

No more red hands
And you never need put your hands
into the water hot or cold when
you wash with a Laun-Dry-Ette.
This seems almost like a story of
magic. Indeed it is a story of electric
al magic applied in the simplest and
most dependable fashion.
Telling it to you doesn't half convey
the simplicity, the fineness, the relia
bility, the economy, the cleanness and
case of operating the Laun-Dry-Ette,
which, as you perhaps know, is one of
the fastest selling electric washing ma
chines in the world.

See the sanitary all copper tubs.
Note the nickel plating inside. Note
the enclosed safety mechanism. See
how the makers have made every de
tail fool proof. Sec for yourself how
much easier and better the Laun-Dry-Ette
does the wash.
Don't take our word for it come
and sec the clothes whirled dry. Come,
check up every statement, and remem
ber you get this extraordinarily com
plete machine at no higher price than
you arc asked for ordinary' machines.
