in Washington parish. With more
than 10000 square feet Of floor
space, this concern has ample room
to display to advantage the large
stock, which. includes everything
found In an up-to-date establishment
Of this kind. The Darlington Store
could really be classed as a depart
ment store, because the stock is SO
comprehensive and meets every re-
quirement Of the home and farm.
The grocery department il iii charge
Of capable clerks and the well-se-
lected stock represents the very high
est grades. In the other depart
nents will be found all kinds of mer-
chandise, including ladies' and mems
ready-to-wear, dry goods and no.
tons, queensware and crockery,

ways be kept up. This concern also

The Darlington Store is one Of the
eldest mercantile establishments in
this section Of Louisiana. In 1856
Mr.. Robert Darlington started the
business in Franklinton. That he
has made puccess is reflected by
the large volume Of business done in
recent years. Mr.. Darlington was
succeeded by his two sons, w. w.
and G. s. e. Darlington, who have
been actively managing the affairs
Of this growing concern for twenty
five years. Under the present man-
agement the business has continued
in its steady march Of success and

business circles and are among the
most progressive Of the town. The
business has always been conducted
along lines to gain the confidence of

terprise located at home, where fair

Dus should go elsewhere for there
supplies.
