This book gives a great look at a great Chicago institution. This book reminded me of my love for Marshall Field's and my sadness at its replacement by Macy's (I'm still bitter over that and refuse to shop at Macy's). For any Chicagoan this will bring back memories and put a smile on your face. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A history of the iconic department store and a city's life over a century and a half. Anyone who has waited in a Christmas line for the Walnut Room's Great Tree can attest that Chicago's loyalty to Marshall Field's is fierce. Dayton-Hudson even had to take out advertising around town to apologize for changing the Field's hallowed green bags. And with good reason--the store and those who ran it shaped the city's streets, subsidized its culture, and heralded its progress. The resulting commercial empire dictated wholesale trade terms in Calcutta and sponsored towns in North Carolina, but its essence was always Chicago. So when the Marshall Field name was retired in 2006 after the stores were purchased by Macy's, protest slogans like "Field's is Chicago" and "Field's: as Chicago as it gets" weren't just emotional hype. Many still hope that name will be resurrected like the city it helped support during the Great Fire and the Great Depression. Until then, fans of Marshall Field's can celebrate its history with this warm look back at the beloved institution. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
