TRADE REVIEW

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

ANY review of@she trade interests oil
Rising Sun. or even OF Cecil countv,
would be far from complete did it moi
contain full and complete mention Of E
R. Burlington & Sons, one of the largest
mercantile enterprises doing business
today in rural Maryland, and one whose
magnitude of operations and Of equip
ment is at once surprise aud revelation
to the stranger and experienced traveller.
These remarks are not made merely b.
way OF idle compliment, but are simply
the cold recital of fact; for the growth
and expansion of the business from its
modest beginning in 1874 Up TO its pres
enl large proportions have been made
under conditions that put to the test pro
nonnced business and executive ability
and an enterprise which met difficulties
only to surmount them, and in the end TO
provide the people Of Cecil county at the
very doorsn with market conditions in
many respects on par with the best
efforts of Philadelphia's and Baltimore's
leading institutions. The result is that
people come from all sections of II e
county to the Burlington store. and the
Burlington delivery wagon in the adjoin-
ing counties is no unusual occurrence.
Some idea of the magnitude of equipment
can be arrived at when it is known that
the Burlington Store, proper, covers an
area throughout its four floors aud base
meat of over 10, 900 square feet, and that
the three-story furniture building, across
the street, offers an area of 5000 square
feet. Throughout all the departments
nine persons are kept constantly busy,
and their daily efforts supply the needs of
large and thoroughly established
patronage. The Burlington Store carries
full and complete stocks of dry goods,
dress goods. large collection of ladies',
mems and children's shoes; ladies' and
mems furnishing goods, an exceptionally
large line Of clothing from leading
makers, rubber goods, queensware. glass
and china ware, furniture. carpets and
floor coverings generally, wall paper and
all articles for home equipment or adorn-
ment in this line E. r. Burlington, the
founder of this business, belongs TO a
family which has. since 1924. been sue
cessfnlly identified with mercantile
affairs in Chester Co., Pa, his own activ-
tiles dating from 1866, when, with his
brother, heopened store at Doe Run,
Pa, from which place he removed, in
1874, to Rising Sun and continued to do
business in his individual capacity until
1898, when the firm became as at present.,
E r. Burlington 8. Sons, and consists
today of E. R. Bufington and his two
sons. Albert L. and Charles E. Appre-
ciating the recognized power OF cash to
secure the lowest fractional prices at the
factory doors and in turn transfer these
advantages TO cash-buyiug patrons, E. R.
Burlington & Sons in 1905 adopted the
strictly cash system of doing business, and
the change has been productive of the
greatest substantial benefits to patrons,
for their dollar secures in every instance
the full measure of value. The system is
alike beneficial TO merchant and patron
and rests securely on the wisdom of the
legend that Cash is King"
