counted thirty years and upward. There
is no record of the cost of this census.
But il is likely that it was done out of
necessity and without pay.
Solomon Took Census
Old man solomon. who wrote the
Proverbs. subsequently had the census
taken. It has been suggested that he
wanted to tally I'm his numerous wives
and lady friends and their birthdays.
The census was 'unwllngly taken by
.Toab" at the behest of King David to
determine the number OF fighting men
Of David's realm.
The first original official census is laid
at tho door Of Scrvius Tullius. sixth

On this first day of the New Year and
say little something about plans for 1920

We thank you for 1919 because it was by far
the greatest year in history, both in volume of
sales and in number of people se1ved-and re-
member we have been right here in Philadelphia
since 1887. For YOUR share of the patronage
which made such business possible we are deeply
appreciative.
AS to 1920
Daringtons always has been and will con-
tinue to be run for the hundreds of thousands of
city and suburban people who want good goods,
not necessarily expensive goods, but really worth
while merchandise.
We are not high-price, exclusive establish
ment. Our aim is to have in the many lines we
carry the staples as we'll as the distinctive, un-
usual things for which the store has long been
noted; to sell such merchandise at fair prices; to
give prompt, courteous, intelligent service.
We wish to have an active store constantly
building good will by the regular values it gives
not one which must attract trade only through the
daily advertising of bargains $50 called).

This does not mean that we cannot from time
to time offer special values and have sales "a
sale when it is sale is entirely legitimate Every
store obtains now and then reduced-price lots from
its wholesale sources of supply and is glad to pass
such savings along to its customers, both as an in
ducement for more business and in appreciation
of patronage given Then, too, every merchant
who wants to keep his stocks new fresh and 'turn-
ing must be steadily clearing away all discon-
tinued and broken lines-and there is no better
way for this than TO offer such lots to his clientele
at lowered prices
For 1920 our policy shall be TO carry larger
and more complete stocks than ever before; to be
foremost in the presentation of authentic fashions
to mark all merchandise at the lowest prices con-
sistent with sound store-keeping and present-day
costs of doing business; to merit continuance of
the patronage which has come to us in 1919 and
the years before, and to win new trade by having
at all times the most desirable of merchandise
backed up by thoroughly efficient store service in
all it's phases.
